Update,
  I found a 250 ohm 5 watt ceramic  resistor , attached it with clip leads and the radio powered up so now I will just see if the resistor gets too hot. It is the beginning of a divider network and I suspect 5 w. will be fine. It's funny though that Philco did not disclose the wattage sizes for their  porcelain wire wound resistors. 
                                                               Thanks
