>I used a 250 ohm with a 5 watt rating.

Should be fine. A 10 Watter would provide additional safety margin and cooler
operation.

>The schematic calls for a 25 microfarad at 25 volts.

True enough. However, if you actually measure the voltage across the cap it
will usually be right at 25 volts or maybe a little higher. Bad idea. Use a
cap with a higher voltage rating for safety sake. The 25 uF number results in
spongier sound as you drive the piss out of it. 47 UuF tightens it up a bit.
