[NJARC] Help with Philco Transitone 53-562

[w2wiq1 at juno.com]

HI AARON:

WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING IS NOT THE CAPACITOR BUT A LARGE SPLIT 47K RESISTOR THAT WAS ACUTUALLY ACROSS THE LINE AT THE 35W4 PIN 4.
IN THE PAST MAYBE A PHILCO SERVICE BULLETIN OR A SHOP ADDED A METAL OXIDE VARISTOR THERE TO PROTECT FROM POWER SURGES OR LIGHTNING.
I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THEM SHORT OR BLOWN TO PIECES.HE WILL BE LUCKY IF THE VOLUME CONTROL SWITCH DID NOT GO OR BE DAMAGED.OR COULD BE INTERMITTENT.

WALTER-W2WIQ

Steve, FWIW, I have a working 53-563.It is the same chassis with a different dial configuration and minor parts placement differences. I can make measurements  if needed for comparison etc.
