Schematic shows a 33 Ohm FUSE TYPE, Resistor. Question is.... MUST a FUSE TYPE be used as replacement? What's the difference in design of fuse type vs regular resistor? Thanks for any HELP....

That 33 Ohm resistor is the weak link in like a power suppy feed. It would be the first thing to open should there be an overload. What is normaly ment by fuse type, is flame proof.

As I recall, the resistor in question was marketed under the trade name "FuseOhm" and it was basically a wire wound resistor of low value for surge protection, but had no tolerence for overload, therefore acting like a fuse. Or, you could think of it as a fuse with 33 Ohms for surge protection.
