FW: Globe Scout Deluxe

[Mike Langner]

If some previous owner replaced the high-resistance wire with hookup wire,
that would kill the plate current reading while still permitting the
transmitter to work -- I've seen it done before by folks who didn't know
about "resistance wire!"

Gary Barrell just send me a series of emails and I totally buy his
explanation - the wire most probably is nichrome or some other high
resistance wire.  There is only about 1-1/2 turn of the 'special' wire on
the 22 ohm resistor (which is obviously being used as a 'coil form' for the
current shunt).  So thumbs up to Gary.
