Wirewound resistor
#3

Thank you for that.

The formula was posted on another site. Wattage= 2X "x" volts X "x" volts / voltage on the cathode.

Perhaps there is a mistake there. In any case I appreciate the answer.

Anyone have thoughts on non reception?. I had it somewhat before I replaced the caps that were on the 78RF and the 4500 ohm resistor. I had to replace the original resistor as the wire broke off it flush when manipulating it.

The output side is OK, its picking up the static from the vibrator, and the volume and tone both work, and did when it had a station. I have literally replaced all caps and electrolytics in the chassis AND vibrator power supply, with the exception of a resistor cap combo, R6/C6.. I think it is off of the 37 oscillator tube. It must be something simple, and just need to figure out where to focus on. I hate to give up, as it did work albeit for 5 min or so. I got video to prove it Icon_redface

Thanks!!
