I measured in this resistor at 25 ohms. Is this an average value for this type of resistor or is it wayy off?
The other mains goes to ground then the one of the new diodes I put in.
Also one side of the mains is hooked up to a small cap then travels to another larger cap. To ground again..I think

25 ohms sound alright to me , I have a bit different westinghouse schematic , and there is a 7.5 ohm , them the cap , then the diode .
Does the resistor look burned , or have cracks in it ?
