AirKing 4000- 500M and 300M resistors
#1

Hi guys, I started working on an old Air King model 4000 today. I bought it on Ebay cheap couple of months ago because I felt sorry for it, as it looked terrible. I figured I would try and save it from a certain death in the trash. The wooden case was painted a nauseating color of green and was peeling off. I decided I would make it beautiful again and give it to my nephew. 

Anyway, I pulled the filthy  chassis out and did the tear down and clean-up. Today I started the recap and resistor check out. Unfortunately it uses two dog bone 500M resistors  and one 300M resistor none of which I have. The highest I go is 15M. I'm not worried about keeping it original, I just want it to look good and function. I re-stuffed the electrolytic capacitor, because it was easier to go that route, but that's it. So the resistors have drifted way off (700 - 840 on the 500M's and 460 on the 300M) and I need to replace them. I'm having a hard time finding these and was wondering if anyone might have some they would sell me and mail me? Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
