Hi Mark.....The component is a 3-5 watt resistor. It is very common for radio's of that era ( EARLY 30'S) The only troubles you might find with these are shorts to chassis. Just make sure it is grounded only where schematic has it so. Nice radio....I have done a couple, and never seemed to get them working too well. But it is a  very sort after radio..............AL

I'm in the process of restoring a Q-236 Emerson radio however whilst trying to piece together the schematic, I have got stuck at the heater circuit.

Let me explain, the set was originally made for the US market so 105-125VAC. The example I have got was for the South American market and I am told this was 230VAC. The resistive mains lead has been cut off so I have only three wire tails left to work from. One goes to the 25Z5 to make the HT but another feeds the heater circuit which must have had the built in resistance in the lead. Also in the circuit is this odd component which is made by Clarostat and measures about 8 ohms. See photo.

I found a schematic for a Q157 which appears very similar (same tubes etc) but this odd component is not included. Was this added for the Southern markets or is this a normal feature of these sets?

 

Since I submitted this, I have now solved the problem. The part in question is actually a 400R resistor which is a shunt for the dial bulb. When initially measured, the bulb was still in place and hence the 8R.

Thanks for looking anyway.
