I think you misunderstand. I meant this is only my second repair of a radio using a candleohm resistor setup.

I’m listing this so people realize I’m not new to all this. I’ve been doing this off and on since the 70s when I was a General class license holder and had a commercial license at age 10. Not a bragging thing - just to show I do know what I’m doing. 
I’ve repaired lots of different radios by now for my collection - from brands everyone knows -Collins, Heathkit, Hallicrafters to some really strange stuff like a Babcock DX-mitter mobile transmitter with the mobile power supply,  Eico 723 transmitter,  a Heathkit ca-1 Conalrad receiver, and even a Meissner signal shifter. Plus a National vhf 1-10A. Not to mention all the McMurdo Silver test equipment.
I’ve never seen another DX-mitter ever - it was in a barn in Kansas. 

I have the majority of this fixed and working. My plan is to work through the rest so when I retire I just quit repairing and have a vintage radio room where I just sit and listen all day

An old picture of the workroom - it’s like a Where’s Waldo of antique radios - that’s one corner of my shop. I have about 25 linear feet of shelves in my storage with the rest - mostly repaired and boxed up- NC300, RME69, Hallicrafters. I even have a Johnson Viking CDC - never been able to fix that one yet. As far as I know there are not any others left.
