It is rare that they will go down in value. I've only seen a couple that way. Replace it with a modern 33K (I prefer flameproof). I think the largest resistors in these radios that are not wirewound are 3W, and those are the very large dogbones. Most are half watt. 2W replacement may be overkill, but will work.

Thankyou for the kind words sir. I double checked it with my component tester and it read 2.7 ohms at .02mH.Stormlord5500 — 08:14 AM
