Nice work! Indeed, the resistors in their small gold sockets are for exactly this purpose, cartridge loading. Be advised that the basic impedance of the phono stage is 100K. So, whatever you put in the sockets is in parallel with the 100K. Therefore, if you want 47K, you need to put in 100K in the sockets, which will equal 50K. When you get into moving coil cartridges where you want to have 100 Ohms or so, then the 100K doesn't really affect it much since it's such a large value,.
I'd be careful with 1 watts since their legs tend to be pretty thick and the gold sockets were designed for 1/4 watt resistors.
Thanks Paul, so I suppose it's a trip to Radio Shack.......
Drive it like you stole it.
