Let me begin by saying I've restored quite a few all American five's as well as multi-band trans-ocieanic clones, so I feel like I "half" way, know my way around a chassis and schematic.

I currently have a 38 Philco on my bench that I recapped including the Bake lite blocks. I'm trouble-shooting a problem that seems to be in the IF stage.
I guess I'm spoiled but, I'm having trouble reading the resistor color values on these old radios. They appear to be spray painted on. Also I'm used to the pin numbers or tube keys being printed on the schematic.

Maybe some of Mr Schwark's service info would be worth the purchase.

I've always used the Riders and Baitman's schematics.

Any suggestions to help my vertigo would be appreciated.

No rush I'm out of town this weekend. Thanks in advance.
