ques. about KS 69 note below
i read that the lazyfinger schem had a problem and the 220k resistor is supposed to be 220R. i did a mouser search and came up w/ this:  
MEC VITREOUS ENAMELED POWER RESISTOR C7 220R J  
is this what your talking about, just want to make sure im clear on what that is. ive never heard of a resistor w/ R for value.  
thanks!

When an "R" is used, as in "220R", it generally means "ohms", as in a two hundred and twenty ohm resistor (220 ohms). So you can get by with any 1/4 watt, 5% carbon film resistor that is 220 ohms.

Oops, I wasn't intentionally duplicating Cole's reply. It obviously appeared while I was writing mine...  
 
1/4W would be fine, I prefer 1/2W because they're easier to read (getting old).

Re: ques. about KS 69 note below
For "R", read "ohms". So 220R just means 220 ohms. No need for a high power rating - ½W would be more than adequate.
