[Boatanchors] Resitors

[Rob Atkinson]

Try getting pairs of 1 or 2 W. 6 and 10 Meg if possible and parallel
them?  Don't know--those values may or may not be even harder to find.

I think there are some other methods for setting up a h.v. audio pick
off involving multiple resistors in series for a voltage divider
network.  I don't see why they have to be so high watt.  The scope
isn't going to draw much current on the very high Z vertical input.

I would have thought maybe they would both have the same value as they are in series but not so according to the color codes.  Most stuff these days is 1/4 or 1/2 watt or less.  going above that to the 3 + watt level gets a tad bit more expensive.  The existing ones of which the 5.1 meg unit is open are what looks like the older carbon type.  Now i see they have some glazed glass types.  DO you have any experience or knowledge of what these are like or how reliable?
