Bruce, you are welcome, I'm glad that the suggestions helped.

Eary on, Henry Ford developed the "Design to Manufacture" concept. This sometimes (or often) flies in the face of a "Design to be Repairable" concept. Your comments on the location of resistors and the need to perform major surgery to get to it underscore my point. Even on more expensive radios, like the upscale Philcos, this is nonetheless an issue.
