[Boatanchors] 1 Ohm resistors needed

[Jim Brannigan]

It cost me about $8 to buy a single zener diode from Mouser.
I tried to explain that I had a lot of money invested in Collins gear and 
could not understand why they would not sell me a part below cost.

It was my reasoning that if I had 60-70's radios, it was their 
responsibility to provide service at 60-70's prices.
