Good Afternoon..
Well it's time to begin the Philco 118 Highboy I acquired from a phellow phorum member. Attached are a couple of pictures. As I dig into it I may have some questions. the first one I have is, the long WW resistor in the picture of the underside of the chassis is bad (it's number 60 on the schematic). What should the watt rating being for this 6500 ohm resistor? Would 7 Watts be big enough? I ordered the 40 gauge wire for the shadowmeter so when that arrives I'll work on that as well. Does anyone have a closeup of the shadow meter light bulb socket? This one seems to be broke and bent up, I just need to know what to look for Icon_wink

I am also in the market for a scrap electrolytic cap to fill the whole in the left rear corner it's 1 1/4 to 1 3/8 in diameter.
This should be fun.. Icon_biggrin
