Hi,

If the BC resistor is open, it can be replaced with separate resistors. If only one section is open, only that section need be replaced. I would unwrap the bad section, just to make sure it doesn't "heal" at a later time, then connect the new resistor to the lugs of the old one. Ten watt resistors should do it. Someone else may chime in on that.
