Well i checked and the resistor (a micamold) is 700 Ohms and I have the early IF transformers. The workmanship on the 0.05 is too good to be anything but factory and the end that goes to the chassis lead is under the leads for the 2 mica caps, so I'm going to now assume a factory error. It's pretty twitchy about the adjustment of the 1st IF transformer, it will be interesting to see if changing to a .25 uF improves that.

Whats really strange about the set, the rubber in the dial lamp is as good as the day it was made, and the grill cloth is a little dirty but has no damage at all.

Lil thing plays pretty good too.
