Recapping has gone smoothly although as the Pa Dutch would say the "quality condenser" is yet. (as in not yet done)
Unfortunately it turns out that 3 of the wire wound resistors are faulty (not uncommon I understand) since they are wound on cardboard or fiber board and are rather fragile.  They are the Bleeder Resistors #1 (4000 ohms) and #2 (850 ohms) and the RF Bias Resistor (160 ohms).

So unless I get really lucky and find some replacements I'm going to have to use modern replacements.  So here's the question:
Am I correct in figuring that 2 or 3 watt replacements would work OK?

My thinking:
 175 v (present @ plates of 1R and 2R) across 11,000 ohms (4000+6000+850+160) yields 0.016 amps.

(4000/11000)175 x 0.016 = 1.02 watts for the 4000 ohm resistor

double or triple that = 2 to 3 watts.  Similarly the other 2 resistors would be less wattage.

If I'm doing this calc wrong please let me know.... thanks for the help!!
