Guys, don't forget that the resistor in question, in the Model 70, is NOT a Candohm, but instead a large ceramic tubular resistor with multiple taps. A Candohm has a metal housing and is mounted flat against the chassis. The ceramic resistors as used in Model 70 require standoffs for mounting.
This is why I didn't mention the Candohm replacement which I also saw on that quaint little alternative forum
. But the idea presented there of a Candohm replacement is, indeed, an excellent one. Many thanks to Terry for posting the link.
Edit: You do NOT want to use the terminals on an old Candohm as tie points for new resistors; if you do, you could be in for all sorts of problems. This is why a bad Candohm needs to be eliminated. The "popfog" method is a great Candohm substitute.
