Rebuilding a Philco Tropic 42-730EZ
#22

Ron;
  If it appears to have left the factory with part 78 and 79  in place there must be a reason for them, though that's the first time that I have seen a pair of resistors between each leg of the power transformer primary and ground, a pair of capacitors is more normal. As for the ones on the plates of the rectifier tube, parts 73 and 74, maybe those are there to remove some sort of power line transient that was common in South American countries at the time?
Regards
Arran
