Mike;
I have heard about some one and two Watt resistors that are brown just like the older style ones, though obviously they are not molded from brown phenolic like the old carbon comp ones are. I think they are made by Vishay, the only issue is that they are lacking in the higher resistance values, though I think they do go up to 470K. I may have to acquire some, even the voltage ratings look good for tube equipment, like TV sets.
Regarding the toaster overs, I think I had the two or three I have just given to me, or they were out at the end of a driveway with a free sign, people do that sort of thing here with unwanted items rather then bother with a garage sale, or taking them to a thrift shop, many of which are fussy about donations. You could probably get a used one from a thrift store, or garage sale, if you were not on the other side of the continent I would give you one.
Regards
Arran
