are labeled 000 158 37 45, measuring about 0.03 and 000 158 39 45 about 0.04 ohms. A disclaimer: I didn't remove them from the ckt so I'm reading the parallel resistance value.

I believe I measured them out-of-ckt and the values were about 0.06 - 0.08 ohms.

The dual fans impedance is about 0.38 ohms so the values above seem a bit low. If I get some time I'll remove them to make an accurate measurement. But the point is you don't need a high value to slow the fans.

At 0.06 ohms those 'dropping' resistors are dissipating 55 watts or so. That's why they are mounted in the front.
