[NJARC] Help with Philco Transitone 53-562

STEVE & AARON:

I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.

THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A RESISTOR WHICH SOME BODY PUT THERE NOT KNOWING THE PART THEY REPLACED.THAT BLEW BECAUSE IT WAS ACROSS THE POWER LINE.THE SET SHOULD WORK WITH OUT IT.

THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A METAL OXIDE VARISTOR ADDED THERE TO PROTECT AGAINST A POWER LINE SURGE.

DO THE FILAMENTS  AND PILOT LIGHT GLOW?

IF NOT CHECK THE VOLUME CONTROL SWITCH AND ALL THE TUBE FILAMENTS FOR CONTINUITY.
