Greetings, it's been awhile since my last restoration...
I am about to start a restoration of the 37-650 console, and I am trying to set up my material order list. I know I have to get to the hidden components under the RF sub-section which I will do first.. But, I need to order the components ASAP. First question I have of probably many to go and forgive my inexperience with this radio. The chassis houses a power resistor strip. It looks like 19 ohms and 119 ohms although the schematic is blurry. I want to replace that strip because the ohms were not stable and out of tolerance. I will go with a 20 and a 120 ohm resistor. My problem is I couldn't figure out the wattage of those resistors. I could go with 25 watts and call it quits, but that's not what I want to do.
Thank you for any help,
Vin
