Puzzled Over 118MX
#4

It's been on the bench, playing perfectly, for several hours now. My fear is that, being upside down on the bench, there is a lot of air circulation and it wont get hot enough to reproduce the trouble. I poked and prodded with a wooden stick and found nothing. Mike sent me a PM that should help narrow down the search. I did leave several old dog bones in the radio, and my gut tells me that's where the problem lies. Chuck, I checked resistor #61 as soon as I first pulled the chassis, it checked out fine - but it had cooled off by then too.

I may have to put it back in the cabinet to get it hot enough. Or else, maybe cover it up with something on the bench? It's a heavy chassis and I'm no spring chicken... any ideas on that?
