[Milsurplus] BC-348-R BFO problem

[Laura and Jim]

The bypass cap (#11-2, .01uF/500V paper) in mine failed and smoked the associated resistor (#62, 68k, 1/2W). This resistor appears to drop the B+ for VT-70 (6F7). I don't have a direct sub, but close (60k and 80K).

My question: which way would be better for BFO operation? I think use the 60k for higher B+?

I hope to have it and the BC-375-E on the air for the coming AM CX.
