Starting work on my 19B
#5

OK, after a few days of delay I removed the first Bakelite block. It is the one in the upper left corner of the picture I posted above. I was able to find the the information on what was contained inside in the tech section of this site (thanks Ron). I was able to extract the existing cap and replace it with a .047 uF 630 V cap. But I have two questions:

1) I know this is probably a 'personal preference' kind of question, but do people generally re-stuff the Bakelite blocks with the black wax or some other compound? If another compound, what do you recommend?

2) Some of the resistors in this radio are large and some are huge. They look like they might be 5 watts. For example the 2K ohm roughly dead center in the picture and the 39K (the orange one) a little to the right of that. I don't seem to have a parts list that gives me power ratings for the resistors, so how do I tell how big (in watts) is big enough?

Thanks in advance.
Jon
