Replaced almost all my resistors... almost every one was either open or way off (3x 1Meg were ~1.7M, 2M, 2.5M). the big 2W 32k beast was spot on, think I'll keep it as a link to the past. Still wondering how this radio worked at all.

Saw an article elsewhere on making "repro" resistors, painted up just like the originals. Very tempted even though no one would see them!
