Magnavox suitcase 2SC242M need value of sand resistor
 
I got one of those Magnavox stereo suitcase players at an auction.Model no. 2SC242 M the sand resistor in series with the rectifier is open.Anyone know the value or have a schematic?

Also if anyone has a junker Micromatic changer laying around I need the play idler wheel.This one's hard as a rock.

Is it the one between the cathode and the first filter capacitor? If so, something like a 33 ohm, 5W will work.

If it's a filament dropping resistor, we can figure out the value with ohm's law; but, we need to know what tubes it uses.

Thanks. It was the one with the sand resistor between the cathode of a silicon rectifier and the filter caps.I had a pack of 2 56ohm 3 watt so I pararelled those and it works.Kinda surprised that the original filters are working for now.The sound is nothing to write home about.
But it reminds me of record players I had as a child especially the smell.
