[Boatanchors] [BoatAnchors] Strange Type of Resistor

[Bob Jackson]

My bad - probably 1/2 watt size. They're smaller than current 1W.

Still, they ARE resistors, not caps, and there are three of the little 
buggers. They're on the schematic as resistors and measure to those values. 
Weird.

Moving on ...

1/4 watt resistors in a 50s era rx?  seems a  bit small wattage.  how about 
a picture?  Russ.
