Jim, The reason I ask about using regular resistors instead of SM resistors is that I don't have the correct value SM resistors. If there is a degradation in performance with film axial lead resistors I will get the SM resistors. It is not a question of qualification of mounting SM components.

Dont screw it up unless your qualified to make the mods.
