OK, I get the point but can I wire in a 1700 ohm resistor in place of the 1700 ohm field coil?  And if yes, what wattage do I need?  I have two problems at the moment.  First the radio cabinet is extremely heavy and is on the second floor of my house and the radio chassis is in my basement shop.  The second problem is I just rebuilt a crushed antenna shield and installed it in the cabinet.  I can't get the speaker out without removing the antenna and I'm worried that  I'll break it when I try to get it out.  I can do an alignment upstairs but I'm just not set up for soldering outside of my shop.  The radio cabinet is huge and can be seen here Zephyr .
thanks,
Keith
