Model 77 wirewound resistor wattage question
#1

I'm getting started on a Philco Model 77 lowboy.  As I expected it needs a lot of work, but in testing the 2 section wirewound resistor, one section tests OK (800 ohms), but the other section which should be 250 ohms, reads more than double.  I disconnected the middle from the circuit, but it still reads high.

My instinct is to replace it with 2 resistors, but what wattage should I use?  There's not enough data for me to figure it out.  2W, 5W, 10W?

Thank you.
Joe
