Based on the circuits the resistors are in, I'm guessing 1/4 watt resistors should be fine, but get 1/2 watt instead, just because they look better, and the price difference is miniscule. Hopefully, others will confirm my guess!

Just for grins, connect the lead of your antenna wire, to the grid cap of the first detector/oscillator tube (77). The radio may function, is this fashion. By all means - replace the antenna coil, though.

AES has a suitable replacement, new, antenna coil.

The part number is: P-C70-A
