ERG resistors

[Yorkie]

You might find that if you don't have one within 10% tolerance either way of what you need, that two in parallel would fit the bill, and of course share the load. No need to do the sums Rob: http://www.1728.org/resistrs.htm Most, though not all, radios seem to have a bit of space around the power section if you need to double them up.

I dare say the power handling and reliability of those resistors will be superior to modern ones (the square section white jobbies).

You won't need to use many to recoup your tenner!
