[Elecraft] KPA1500 PSU fan mod - Need resistor

[Dave]

They originally sent me a load resistor that looks like a TO220 style transistor. That connects to PSU 50 volt output to have some load on PSU when in standby, this reducing birdies on 80 meters. 

They are sending me another parts (resistor?) to lower PSU fan speed which when idle PSU fans  are loudest thing in shack
