Been running the radio for three hours now. The power transformer has settled out at 140 degrees. The filter choke is about 115 degrees. I have an adjustable 20 watt resistor that I can set to 3200 ohms. I'll use that for the field coil resistor and see what the temps are after the set cools down. I suppose those 80 and 42 tubes are contributing to the power transformer heat since they are almost touching it.
