I just happen to have a 50 ohm 10 watt resistor. I'll install it tomorrow.
I just finished replacing old/bad parts and fired this thing up today, but it's not working. Then one of the dial lights blew. They seemed overly bright.
Then again, I have 128 volts at the outlets in my house.

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
