advice needed: restoring 47-1230 - FM & AM now works!!!! :D (uncertain about SW)
#35

How do we check resistor for values, do we need to cut them out of the circuit?

I guess I'll add a fan as a latter upgrade. After five hours, it is warm, not hot. I could keep my hand on the transformer without problems. Although my mains are at 125~126V, and 1940s electricity was bellow 120 (117V in 47 if I am right) so this might cause a bit more power.

I have read of others who reduce the incoming voltage in order to reduce power stress on the chassis; is that needed here? I wouldn't want to damage the power transformer if I can prevent it.
