Jolida 801a Triode Mod

I've gone through my Jolida 801a and feel like I've made some worth while modifications. I swapped out the diodes, coupling capacitors and signal resistors. The last thing I'd like to do to this unit is convert it to triode mode. I've attached the photo below as reference. My understanding is to disconnect the UL tap from pin 4 and solder a 100r - 1k resistor between pin 3 and 4. Can I just depin the wire going to pin 4 (SG1 and SG2) and isolate that from the rest of the unit? Then solder directly to the socket a resistor? If so what watt and value resistor should I consider? Thank you in advance!
