Replacing resistors
Got all of the out of tolerance resistors on the main board replaced.
Ended up getting the wrong wattage 47K resistor, so I had to make 47K
with what I had. Not as pretty as I would like, but it'll work...
Testing the transmitter
Did some more work on the TCS transmitter. Everything came up good when I bypassed the variac. While trying to determine which pins of the Morse code Jack were the correct ones to key the transmitter, I found out that the pins in the back of a socket were bent incorrectly and not contacting the correct part of the plug. I bent them back into their correct position. Then I was able to Wire up my Morse code key to a plug that fit inside of that Jack, and have the correct pins key the transmitter. Next I will have to see if I could get any power out of it into the dummy load.
