I'm in the middle of restoring the chassis of my 38-10.  I ohmed out the candohm (PN 33-3316) and find the values are too far off, it needs to be replaced.  What is the rated wattage for each of the three sections?

The current draw is roughly 73mA.
This makes 202 Ohm resistor dissipate 1.07W which would require 3W rating, or 5W for good measure.
The rest is insignificant and would be 1W for convenience.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
