Help to id Philco condenser block
#9

gvel Wrote:I can't answer your capacitor question, but I have a comment on the resistor reading high.

When you measured this, was one end of the resistor disconnected from the circuit? Since it's across a capacitor, you will get "goofy" measurements, if one end of the resistor is not lifted. Wire wound resistors usually don't drift too much. They are usually good or open, but nothing's impossible.

Yes...no harm buying line capacitors...when you make your order!


Greg-

Yes, one end of resistor was lifted when measuring--I like you have generally found wire wounds to fail open, but this one reads 1.6K; it has obviously developed an internal fault.

Thanks,
Kico
