Hello,

I am in the process of restoring an old S-120 which needed a new
potentiometer. I have replaced the part w/a new one (same type) and at
this
moment, when I turn the radio on, I hear nothing but cracking sounds from
one of the resistors nearby.

I am thinking of installing a condenser (sp?) which should hold the
charges
from the resistors.

Any idea if this should work, or am I lost out in this?

Thanks,

First, did the radio WORK before you changed the pot????

If it was working, then the first thing you should look for is
something like solder blobs causing shorts, bare wires
touching where they shouldn't, etc.
