<p>Those 1k resistors burn and either go open of change value due to shorted bypass caps across them. The Philly I am currently working on had one totally burned up due to a shorted cap. I check all of them when I do a restoration, a <very> common failure.</p>

<p>Look out for the rubber wires that pass thought the chassis from the IF coils to the variable capacitors under the chassis, a good replacement for this is silicone rubber insulated wire, the type that is used on test leads is good, and it looks like the old rubber type, </p>
<p>unfortunately the bottom halves of the caps will have to come out, to fit these wires meaning you will have to align the IF when done.</p>
