I use them for GS but use the Koa Speer because they are identical to the Kwammies and a fraction of the cost..Koa made the Kwammies. The SPR series.You should be using CC as GS tho like Jim and Eli suggests.

Not even re-labeled or hardly even re-branded.
Re-packaged?
HI Mike.
the Koa resistors is metal film . I have a lot of new old stock CC but they drip quite badly .
KOA made CC, but mouser and others have phased out selling them. There may be some left in 820 Ohm or the like remaining, perhaps at Mouser or Digikey. The 1KOhm weren't available the last time I looked.Edit: Just checked Mouser, Digikey and Allied (US sources). There is nothing showing. Where have others seen KOA Speer CC resistors?

No shortage of KOA Speer Carbon Film "Killwammy" resistors
Heh, yes, the carbon film ones are indeed there. Did you find any carbon comps? I couldn't find them, and that's what I had meant when I posted about for grid stoppers. I also use the CFs for other locations.
Ohmite works fine in most cases for Carbon Comps.

Jeff,
As the uploaded graphic shows, Mouser carries carbon comp. resistors by several makers. Xicon brand are fine and probably the best value.
Eli D.
Some manufacturers are now producing "carbon composition" resistors that are in fact spiral wound. I first encountered this when replacing the parasitic suppressors in a HF transmitter about 20 years ago. The new resistors didn't work, and I had to scrape the outer layer off one to understand why. So, a word to the wise - any carbon comp types purchased new from a general supply house like Mouser or Digikey should be inspected for this before you use them.
