The candohm resistor calls for 100 ohms on one side, and 19 on the other. It ohms out at 110 and 21, and there is no indication of a short to the chassis, so I think it should be fine.
I have discovered the 10k ohm, 2 watt metal oxide resistor I used to replace the wire wrapped one number 60 has actually slightly discolored(slightly dirty looking) and the orange band has turned black. It ohms out almost exactly the same as a new one I have sitting here. The original ohms out at about 23k ohms! And the other wire wrapped, number 61 should be 9k ohms, and ohms out at 13k ohms.(This one was replaced with a 4.3k and a 4.7 for the proper total) I have a spare wire wrapped- a 7500 ohm, that ohms out at 10.85k ohms- would it be all right to throw this one in as a test subject? I am not sure of the wattage, it is larger that the 10k ohm.(It came from a 38-3) I'm wondering it I am overloading the metal oxide ones, as they are signifigantly smaller than the wire wrapped, although they carry the same wattage and ohm.
