200q resistor pack removal

[John Winkelman]

The individual resistors are not designed to be replaceable individually,
but one could probably replace individual resistor sections with
corresponding ones taken from another unit. I bought a new unit for my 87
5kCSTQ from someone on eBay for less than $12. Worth checking.
