[AMRadio] Series capacitor equalizing resistors

[Mark Foltarz]

Wayne,

   The other oddity of that period was of course the fused plugs that Heathkit,
Johnson and other manufacturers used. 

   Come to think of it, do you suppose the cord on that particular AT-1 is not
original? I forgot if you described the schematic as specifically not having a
fuse anywhere including the line cord.

 Yours,
