Old school Marshall ( look at how many are still out there rockin the world )

I just had a resistor blow on my Mak4 preamp. R43 to be exact. Not knocking the preamp at all. Does anyone here now what the values are for the stripes on the resistor? I am trying to fix it but I couldn't find a replacement at Radio Shack.

Surprised Bogner are considered well-built... I've owned 2 Uberschalls and both had issues.
