I’ve spent two hours on this. I’ve been rewiring the pilot lights - one is totally trashed inside so I need to find a new light or a new pigtail.
I thought that the lead from B10 on the band switch went to the 7C6 but there’s not a 1.8 ohm. From the 1941 RMS Yearbook it seems that this is part 67.
Looking under the tuning coils I found what seems to be the correct resistor. I’ve soldered the wire from B10 to the top of this resistor since I understand it works as a fuse.
Lights still don’t work but I think this is due to bad socket ? The good news is that the radio seems louder now since I replaced more questionable parts and wiring. Seems to be working fine except for the lights.
