Replacing R35 on VHF90

[Bushbaby]

Hi All
According to the Trader sheet R35 is a 160R 5% wirewound resistor that feeds pin 9 (anode?) of the recifier valve UY85. On the radio that I am working on this has been replaced with a 150R resistor. I have a feeling that this should be replaced with the correct value??

Thanks

I wouldn't worry if it works. Being 5% a 160Ω one could be 152Ω and the 150Ω 157½Ω.

It may be worth measuring the 150Ω one to make sure it isn't low.

5 percent of 160 is 8 Ohms.
So 95% is 152 Ohms. So it's not that far out. I would leave it. If the 150 Ohm resistor has risen and it may well have done, then it'll be within spec.

I would leave it.

Cheers,
