Bradley,
It is so unusual to see a post on a Tesla radio that it really took me by suprise. At first I did not see that you had posted it was Yugoslav and I never looked at the chassis.
Looking now I must say that I have never seen one with Swedish wax caps or that type of carbon resistors. But I have only been in Czech Teslas.
I don't know your location or where you purchased your Tesla. My guess is that at some point your radio was upgraded with new caps and resistors. I think it originally had Tesla caps and the funny little painted resistors normally found in the Tesla radios afterall it is a Tesla. It is possible that the paticular factory where it originated was outfitted with parts from the other side of the iron curtain but I seriously doubt it. Richard Booth at Pastimes radio in the UK or other readers may be able to enlighten us better.
Don't expect to find a parts list. I have never seen one and as I said I have the Kottel manuals which cover most if not all of the Czech models.
Good Luck,
Henry
