Resistor replacement
#1

Hello all,
 
  have read the phorum for quite a while but have never posted anything before.
Decided I need a little advice. I have restored and or worked on a fair amount of equipment over the years but am new to working on antique radios.

I am currently working on a 46-421. I have cleaned up the chassis, replaced all the caps and the power cord.
Now on to the resistors. I found three that are out of spec. 
A 130, 470k, and 3.3M, this is where my questions come.

These all look to be carbon comp. resistors, should I replace with carbon comp. or go with something like flame-proof modern style resistors?

If flame-proof, should I use 1/2w or go up to 1w?

Any suggestions for a good place to buy new resistors that will work good on tube radios?
I'm having a hard time finding a 3.3M resistor. I don't want to solder resistors together to get the right value.


Thanks

RF

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
