Afternoon fellows , I had two condensers on hand a orange dip .01 at 600 volt and a .05 at 600 volt the rest I have ordered , I took the #13 cap out of the radio its in a metal rectangle can .05uf ,out of the radio it tested zero dead I replaced that then I took out the #19
capacitor and it checked at .01uf, it was in a bakelite block , I replaced it as well , I did it the way morzh did it leaving all wires attached and still in the radio just heated it and removed the hold down screw and pushed out the tar block . hey this worked great and made it easy . I did cut one lead on #17 and #20 resistor attached to block #19 because I was going to replace them anyway , with one leg cut and out of circuit I tested those two and got one meg on#17 and 975K on #20 resistor , wow tried my other tester and got the same readings , can anyone tell me is this normal for dog bone resistors to drift that far out of spec , data sheet tells me those two and they are battle ship grey should ohm out at 500K , thanks for ay input all the very best thanks again Rick
