Yup.

The correct value would.

They say with any solid state device that it tends to fail to protect the
protection fuse...

Fred, the resistor is very inexpensive - solder in a 470 Ohm resistor. A
fuse isn`t necessary. Instead of two wires, try an aligator clip on one
end, then you only have one wire to be concerned about.
