AirKing 4000- 500M and 300M resistors
#1

Hi guys, I started working on an old Air King model 4000 today. I bought it on Ebay cheap couple of months ago because I felt sorry for it, as it looked terrible. I figured I would try and save it from a certain death in the trash. The wooden case was painted a nauseating color of green and was peeling off. I decided I would make it beautiful again and give it to my nephew. 

Anyway, I pulled the filthy  chassis out and did the tear down and clean-up. Today I started the recap and resistor check out. Unfortunately it uses two dog bone 500M resistors  and one 300M resistor none of which I have. The highest I go is 15M. I'm not worried about keeping it original, I just want it to look good and function. I re-stuffed the electrolytic capacitor, because it was easier to go that route, but that's it. So the resistors have drifted way off (700 - 840 on the 500M's and 460 on the 300M) and I need to replace them. I'm having a hard time finding these and was wondering if anyone might have some they would sell me and mail me? Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
