Working on my 84 Philco, & am wondering about #12--a 16K resistor
part #7500. It measures 20K, & needs replaced. I looked in the resistor cross reference & it calls for 3 watts. The resistor that is in question looks like it would be on the order of 50 watts--3/4 inch dia. by 3 inches long. Does anyone who has knowledge of these 84's know if 3 watts is adequate?
Also, the alignment/ operating instructions call for a fiber alignment tool to adjust the compensation caps on the chassis rear panel. What can be used in this adjustment--I would assume non-ferrous?
Sorry for the long post. Thank you for any info. Jim
