Philco 87 questions
#5

Three more questions. The resistor on the detector tube on mine is marked as a 3/4 meg. It measures almost 1 meg. And the schematic calls for 2 meg. Is this critical? Is the resistor on the cap block #34? It measures 98K (#34 is 70K). What's the resistor on the other end of the chassis mounted on a transformer and tied to a 45 tube? Also, on an old post, Ron says that after removing the cap can from the chassis, the bottom plate easily removes and the wires are cut; with melting out the tar as the next step. I take it that this plate can't be separated from the tar can and be left hanging on the chassis (with all of the wiring still in place)? In other words, is carefully un-soldering all of the wires from the cap can the only way to drop the can from the chassis?
