I am currently rebuilding the bakelite caps in my model 70. Cap #4989-E lists a 250 ohm resistor inside. Can I use a carbon film resistor to replace it or must I use a wirewound? Also, what wattage would this be and what tolerance? I have no 250 ohm resistors on hand but I do have a 270 ohm @ 1/2 watt . Would this be acceptable?
Only 2 more caps to do and one coil to be rewound - can't wait to see how it all works out.
I did have a bad output trans replaced with a universal. No reception I attributed to the bad coil. Radio was in pretty good shape considering it was a curbside find...
