My 1st Philco Restoration - 46-350
#11

Just to clarify, been calling modern square wirewounds "sand resistors" for a long time. I stand corrected. As for space, there's tons of space underneath the set where the battery would go for a bucking transformer or power resistor if needed; just be careful not to create a shock hazard.

When you get your parts list done, include the mica resistors in the if cans. I had two bad ones. You don't need to replace them unless you run into symptoms of "Silver Mica Disease," but at least you will have them at hand.
