I removed this and it tested to 40 ohms so I just put two 80 ohm 1/4 watt resistors in parallel. Not sure it's all that critical. At some point I'll find a 40 ohm 5 watt resistor and throw it in there. I'm honestly not sure what it's supposed to do - I suppose it was a Depression era cost saving measure- like they needed a precision resistance not available as a carbon comp?? I read that somewhere but have no idea either.
