[NJARC] Need values for BL 42 D Ballast Resistor

[Joe Connor via NJARC]

Phil:
    Here is a useful page on deciphering ballast tubes:http://www.radioremembered.org/ballast.htm

    This site gives the wiring diagram: http://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_bl42d.html

    This site sells some universal replacements:http://www.vacuumtubesinc.com/Products/BallastTubesDelayRelays/BallastTubes.aspx#

    Here's an interesting question: with today's higher line voltages, should you use a ballast tube that drops more voltage as a way to compensate for the higher line voltage?

 I picked up a GE J62 radio at the Charlotte AWA meet in beautiful condition. But one of the tube sockets was empty. Turns out it needs a ballast resistor. Does anyone have a list of these and what resistors values are? I'm looking for a BL 42 D. I checked the schematic and it shows 3 resistors but no values.
Thanks,Phil V
