wire wound resistor

I have a Crosley model 26BB console radio. There is a wire wound resistor between the 10 mfd section of the electrolytic capacitor and the plug-in speaker terminal. The resistor is red with and interrupted blak stripe. The resstor has broken. On the schematic the only information I can find is the number 45 next to the 10 mfd schematic symbol. Is this a 45 ohm wire wound resistor? Can I replace it with something else? The schematic I have from Riders doesn't list the value of all the resistors.

The Riders schematic I looked at doesn't seem to have a 45 ohm resistor, or a 10uf capacitor. 45 ohms seems too low; it wouldn't drop much voltage. What I do with open resistors is to cut them physically in half, then measure the good half and double the resistance; it should be close enough.

Sir Robert . . . . .

Looking at that schematic you will see the initial source of the B+ at the 5Y3 and its being initially filtered by the 15 ufd filter . . . . it then passes thru the speaker field coil and is then filtered by the OTHER 15 ufd section.

Note the top connector shown on the speaker plug and you will find its being routed upward with a wire which goes up above the 6J5 and
connects to resistor " TT "which is a 2,000 ohm unit which then has its right terminal going back down to
YOUR
10 ufd section for its
final filtering feed. And its then supplying the last of the dropped B+ to the rest of the set. .

Probably was anywhere from a 2 watt unit on up to possibly a 5 watt max, for the dropping of that lower B+ sub level.
