That’s very gracious of you to say I do good work. I try to be humble and just consider it workmanlike.
I’m doing as you suggest in regards to the audio section. The 3900 ohm resistor is cracked in half. That and the rest of the resistors are being gone through.
Right now I have audio but it appears to my ear to be half of what it should be - probably that resistor.
The total current draw on the radio is around .41. I need to check within the set more specifically.
I don’t know why people act like jerks either. Lots of people seem lazy and get mad that people take the time to do it right as opposed to doing it right now.
In any event I’ve been going through this rewiring pilot lights, pulling and replacing rubber wiring, the usual stuff. There’s a certain amount of disassembly to get to things. You won’t be getting to some things without a nutdriver. I have the tools. I think lots of people don’t and subsequently get frustrated and take a lazy approach like wiring the pilot light to the nearest tube socket.
