I need to replace the screen resistors on the output tubes . The stock value is 68 ohms , which I never stock... any problem with using 100 ohms ?

no problem
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Silvertone would have done that, if they ran out of 68s.
