[Heathkit] Need Help with SB200

[Glen Zook]

1/2 watt 1.5 ohm carbon resistors are available from
Mouser at a cost of 5 cents each in single quantities.
 The part number is 660-CF1/2L1R5J

If it were me, I would put two 3.0 ohm resistors in
parallel and get 1 watt power rating just to be on the
safe side.  That would cost 10 cents!

Part number of the 3.0 ohm 1/2 watt resistor is 

660-CF1/2L3R0J

Mouser does not have any minimum order in the United
States, Canada, or Mexico.  It does have a $100
minimum for other countries.  Their website is at

I have an SB200 with the grid current meter resistor
open.  ( don't remember "R" designator, but the
resistor is 1.5 ohm, 1/2 w. and the grid current meter
reads voltage drop across this resistor ).
 
My questions are :  How critical is this value? Must
it be carbon comp or will wire work in the RF circuit?
