Philco 96 Resistors
#5

So for safety's sake I should use 1 watt units throughout? What about the wire wound types? The big 8300 ohm bleeder (part #45) looks like it's at least a 15 Watt unit, but there is also an 800 ohm hum balancing resistor (part #41) that is probably a 10 watt and a pair of 70 ohm resistors in series (part #44) that also may be 10 watts. Since they used 1 watt jobs in the carbon resistors does that mean they would be more stable and less likely to drift? I think they may have had metal ends rather then having a wire wrapped around them? Or should I shotgun them all anyhow? I guess this also gives me an idea of what wattage of carbon resistors they used in the Radiola 44, they are big guys like the 96 has. Combine this with the poly film filter caps I will be using and these two sets will probably outlive me if I use 1 watters in them.

Arran
