Philco flexible resistors are wire-wound on a fiberglas core. Slightly higher heat dissipation and bendable to get into tight places and used as replacements for any radio. Came in 1/3, 1/2, 1, and 2 watt sizes. Marked with standard color code.

If you can fit a modern resistor in it's place (if out of tolerance or bad) with the same wattage rating, then there is no need to replace with a flex part.
