[NJARC] Resistor question.

[antqradio at juno.com]

The size of the newer film (carbon or metal) resistors is so much smaller
then what you usually find in tube radios that even a higher wattage
resistor should be no problem.  It is amazing to see how uncluttered a
chassis is after replacing capacitors and out of tolerance resistors!
Especially when you use disk ceramics in place of the old paper
capacitors.

I just reworked a wood cased radio which had no speaker.  It seems a
budding technician removed it when he was about 12 years old.  I went to
Radio shack to look for a six inch round speaker but found none. 
Wall-Mart was the answer.  A six inch general purpose was available for
under $10.00
Who would of thunk?  Sounded great too.
Regards,
Jim
