Hey all,
      Just a quick bit of help if possible, I'm just undertaking the speedball upgrade and I appear to have two incorrect resistors. The two restistors for the small pcb boards that fit R2 should be 150k but I have only 2.5k or thereabouts in the pack. My question is can I use two 150k resistor that I have been able to source locally as they are 0.6 w where as the instructions state they should be 2w. Hope that makes sense! I'm in the UK so would like to fix this without waiting for international post. Many thanks.
Emmett

Needs to be 150KΩ. Needs to be 2W. Email replacementparts at bottlehead dot com.

Ok thank you, I felt I had read somewhere that the watts in this instance were less important but for the life of me I can't now find it. I'll keep looking here In  the UK for 150k 2w though as Im on hols this week and desperate to enjoy the upgrade!
