I agree Ron, those 10 w wirewounds do get very warm!! Ive never seen one turn "red" yet. I have been using the 10 watters for smaller-space requirements for several yrs. I usually mount them across a good quality terminal-strip wherever they will fit on top of the chassis somewhere out of the way, and not to close to anything that the dissapating heat would damage. I have played my vintage radios for many,many hrs with no probs so far. I may have been "very lucky" so far also!! I will "up" the wattage to get a cooler-running resistor on this radio!! Thanks again for steering me in the right direction on these old radios!! I really appreciate all your help and pro advise very much!! Randal
