Buzz,

I'll take a look: I am in the beginning of it myself.

BTW, if you could do me a favor and look in here

https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=20106

to the underchassis picture, in the right side, right in the middle there is a large green resistor. I do not have it either in the sch (which has errors I pointed to in my thread, and I am sure other people have too) or on the assembly dwg.
Could you see if you have it or you do not? And if yes, what value is it?
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Went to the actual Riders books, same thing, same errors, no green resistor.
The resistor is factory. So there has to be a reason for it being there.
The sole purpose of it (it's a load for the B+) would be lowering it by about 4% or so.
