Resistors are NOT pricey. These smucks that charge $15+ each are just flat ripping people off.

An average 5 watt resistor can be picked up at about any electronics store for a buck or two.

A friend just had some AC work done on a Chrysler .. one line item was a 'resistor' at $17 and change.

I just picked up a bunch of 250 ohm 2 watt pots for about .60 each from our favorite auction site.
