:well the resistors i have are tiny, like the size of a big grain of rice. the resistors on the radio vary in in size from rice size all the way up to "crayon broken in half size" any suggestions?

::Hi Russell,
::The wattage rating for a resistor is determined by the physical size of the resistor. Look at the package of the resistor assortment you bought from Radio Shack. It should tell you if the resistors are 1/4 Watt or 1/2 Watt.

::If your old resistors are the same physical size as a new 1/2 W, chances are they are indeed 1/2 W. In all the tube radios I've repaired, I've never found any resistors with a power rating less than 1/2 Watt.
