Morning fellows , I removed the jumper wire between #6 & 7 on the long wire wound resistor and tested it and got 950 ohms and that should be fine , but I can not finger out why it had a jumper across it , I did follow the wires coming off it and they go to the right spots on the radio from both leads off the resistor , do you think that when the set warms up the wires expand and it opens up ? , and do you think I should just replace it with a new 10 watt 1K resistor , kind of wish it tested open but I checked it several times with one leg of the resistor unsoldered and get 950 ohms , just looking for a reason that some one along the way put a jumper across it , what would you fellows do and can you think of a reason some one would do this , again thanks for the help and any input all the very best Rick
