Hi John,
Nice radio - want to swap??
I had the same feeling when I bought my little champion set with the resistive line cord (the Amercians called these sets 'curtain burners') so I was very apprehensive about using it. Although not original, Ed Dinning made me an autotransformer to suit and this made me much happier about the set all round.
I agree with David that a cap dropper is good way to get around this.
Hope this helps
Rob
