Mep 802a resistor question

So while replacing the diode on cr1 I seem to have blown the resistor on v5. According to the 24p page 8-3 the resistor in that position is 54 on the diagram. If I am reading it correctly the part number for that is v68ma3b. When I google that part number it comes up with a 68v 40amp varistor, but the picture doesn’t look like the one I took out. Do those numbers sound to correct to anyone? I just want to be sure before I buy them. Thank you in advance for your help.

V5 is a Varister and not a resistor.
The part number you mentioned is correct.
It has the two leads and looks like a round bead in the middle. I have some here. They look like this...
