[AMRadio] Introduction and parts source needed

[jon baker]

     Steve,
   What size are these resistors?
   I have a few, some NOS, some used, but they range from
  1/2" dia. and 6" long to 14" long and 1.5" dia.
   These are the ones that "clip" into holders like large
  fuses?
   Welcome, and hope we can help.
       AD5HR, Jon
