Carbon composite in place of carbon film
As many of you know, I'm trying to fix jail bars on my Zenith Avanti (yes, still). With the help of a few here, I'm about to replace the resistors, diode and transistor in the blanking circuit. I managed to get an NOS Zenith diode and transistor, but the resistors weren't available. I ordered the replacements from Mouser and they arrived on Saturday. When I went through them, I noticed for the 100K 1/4w 5% carbon film I ordered the 100K 1/4w 5% Carbon Composite. I was ordering the 33K and 82 composites and I must have zoned out and kept in that section when ordering the 100Ks.
Anyway, I've searched and read lots on the internet and found the composites are not as stable as film. Now, granted, most sites were in regards to music amps and such, and talked about noise as well. So what I need to know is if I should use them or run out to Radio Shack and get the metal. Only issue with RS is they don't list a manufacturer, so I don't know the quality. Anyway, thanks for any input.
