[Hallicrafters] update SX-101 issue

[Robert Sauvan]

Well Jim,
Im very glad you brought that up. That is certainly a question I was 
going to pose to the reflector soon. Now that you brought it up, I will 
pose my question now. Please, everyone keep in mind, I know very little 
about the hows and whys and how to troubleshoot electronics. Im learning 
thanks to all of you. So, many of my questions to all of you may seem 
basic  but to me it is somewhat complicated. So, walk me through them 
with patience please as everyone always has. I have read many articles 
from others saying they found numerous resistors out of spec. How does 
one do that? Do you snip one end of the resistor in a circuit to see if 
it is still in spec or is there another way without practically tearing 
the whole radio apart. Seems to me, a resistor in a circuit is going to 
have a different value than one that is just sitting on the table not 
hooked to anything. Im ready for the input. I would love to keep 
improving this radio to get it up to new like working condition if at 
all possible.


Thanks-Bob-W0YBS
