I just sort of remembered people talking about using a 25 Watt job in that spot which seems awfully high, not to mention that 25 Watt resistors are not cheap. I don't know if 6500 ohms is a standard size. If it was a 25 Watt I was thinking of using two 13Ks in parallel if necessary. I think that the 18 is very similar in terms of power supply design, but I think that the waveband coverage is different.
The original resistor was unraveling, and so I took it out, but I can't remember what I did with the thing or the threaded rod and washers that held it in. I'm positive that I did not throw it away.
