Found one resistor that is a one watt resistor, higher wattage then what it says in the schematic and parts list. Not sure if it was replaced a long time ago, or updated in the later production runs?
Found another dog bone resistor approx 2 in long x 3/8 dia, and the schematic lists that as a one watt, which can't be. That one measured right to spec, so I kept it there. Most other 1/2 watt resistors were replaced with one or two watt, full body resistors just to be safe.
Not sure if the schematics and parts list are always accurate.
