[Jukebox-list] Rockola Amp Resistor Replacement?

[Don]

Hello Brit,
Not sure how old your Rockola is... but if it is really old then don't be 
fooled by the size of the resistors. In the old days, they made resistors 
larger for their wattage than what they have become now.  Generally speaking 
an old, old 2 watt resistor is approximately the size of a modern 5 watt 
resistor.
Can we have some help on this point from the old timers who know this 
Rockola...?
Cheers,
Don
