Resistors

High quality metal film resistors from Vishay / BC Components. PR03 resistors are rated for 3W but have a compact 5.2x19.5mm package. These resistors look great in vintage and vintage-style builds and have been used in high-end Marshall amplifiers and other audio equipment. Construction: A homogeneous film of metal alloy is deposited on a high grade ceramic body. After a helical groove has been cut in the resistive layer, tinned connecting wires of electrolytic copper or copper-clad iron are welded to the end-caps. The resistors are coated with a red, non-flammable lacquer which provides electrical, mechanical and climatic protection. This coating is not resistant to aggressive fluxes and cleaning solvents.

High quality, reduced mass cemented wirewound 3W 470Ω resistors. These durable resistors are the perfect choice for screen grid resistors due to their reduced size and weight compared to ceramic wirewound resistors. Sold individually.

High quality W21 resistors from Welwyn / TT Electronics W20 Series. These 3W wirewound resistors are a great choice for screen grid and cathode bias resistors in tube amplifiers. The brown enamel coating used by Welyn looks great in vintage and vintage-style amps. These resistors can be found in many vintage Marshall amplifiers. A high purity ceramic substrate is assembled with interference fit end caps to which are welded the termination wires.

High quality 23 Series resistors from Ohmite. These 470Ω 3W wirewound resistors are a great choice for screen grid and cathode bias resistors in tube amplifiers. The brown enamel coating used by Ohmite looks great in vintage and vintage-style amps.
The 23 Series axial terminal resistors are both durable and economical.
