Hello, I am working on a 41-290. It was left in some old lady's attic and is very dry and crispy. I will need to rewire and recap. One thing of concern is the main power resistor. It has taps for 15,31,146 ohms (I'm guessing from memory). If I wanted to replace that, what is the wattage on this one? I want to use 3 separate metal oxides or wire wounds. Any suggestions?
