What is the resistor wattage used in the Dared VP-845?

Hi guys, i just got a used Dared VP-845. Currently itching to upgrade the parts including the resistors to Takman but i am unsure of the wattage value. Takman is only up to 1 watt. Is this value enough?

Green KOA Speer (i.e. Kiwame) or MIlls 5 watts are good alternatives. Mills are cleaner/leaner. Watch spacing to other parts! :) Best, Erik

It's also important to pay attention to resistors which are fusible or flame proof as replacements should match if specified. Best, Erik
