Had to go to a local store to get a 510 ohm resistor, and they only had 1/2 watt.  (my mouser order had 510K due to sloppiness on my part).  This is for standard use in the Duplex Drive, no unusual power requirements.

Thanks,
Pat
I thought this would save me money.

Yeah you can always use higher wattage resistors, space permitting.
