Hi all. I have just finished recapping this radio. New resistors where needed, all paper caps, lytics, etc. I replaced all rubber wiring and was careful as to lead dress and placement. I took out the push button mechanisms in order to do a thourough job. On first power up after recapping, R36 (1,000 ohm) began heating up and smoking after about 15 seconds. I did not replace this first time around as it tested good. I replaced it with a 2 watt that I had on hand. It still is heating up. Rather than undoing all the tuning stuff again needlessly, can someone point me to possible problems to look for? I did not power this radio up when I first got it, I just jumped right into it. But I did notice that the electrolytics had been changed sometime ago and that the neg. of the 12uF cap had been grounded. (I fixed this). Since I don't know if the radio ever worked after this mod was done, could this have done some damage I am not aware of? Thanks for any help!
