I have several 2503 type transfomers with 3 secondaries. In most cases I only use 2. I thought about using the 3rd for a meter.......but if I don't?

Should there be some sort of a resistor to create a load? I am really not sure on this one. If it was a resistor would it be something like 2 megs, or something around 600? This is out of my knowledge for now. But one I get a little guidance, I will be good forever....
 
Thanks CJ. I know we talked about this a little before.

I started questioning just leaving it hang but was wondering if that would cause interferance or ringing or something. I have been playing with a transformer on my bench, but don't have the safisticated tools to look beyond output signwave.
