Hi,

I've got a 1949 Admiral 30B15 television set that I've been working on for a few weeks. It currently has no high voltage and no sound, but all the tubes light up.

It has a handful of problems, and I'm taking them two-by-two as I work through the chassis. Current items:


Some mice chewed through these power resistors (shown in attached photo)
The electrolytic filter caps are leaking


Any recommendations for replacement power resistors?

They don't need to be anything special. Make sure you meet or exceed the original wattage rating.
Here's one I did a while back using a cheap cement wirewound type for the higher power one. A smaller wattage wirewound for the other.

Thanks. I want to verify that I've read the parts list correctly. From Rider, is the one on the left R329, 15W; and the one on the right is R330?

I traced the wiring and found the right-side resistor connects to pin 3 of the 6V6GT, the horiz oscillator.

Yes, R329 and R330
