Hello WallaceRoger.  The particular bakelite block you are referring to doesn't have a resistor, but a small bundle of resistor wire approximating 250 ohms.  I replaced the resistor wire with a 1/2 watt 250 ohm resistor when I rebuilt mine.  Take care, Gary

Thanks, Gary. I have a huge batch of resistors and have some 270ohm, but no 250ohm. I know it's considered ok to replace old capacitor values (like .05) with modern common ones (like .047). Is the same true of resistors? If not I can just find the 250, but if I can use 270 I'd like to. Thanks again, I'm learning a lot as I go.
