Model 655B wire wound resistor replacement
#2

Figure est. 70ma since the set's entire B+ (actually B-) goes thru the resistor. 70ma @ 250 ohms comes out to 1.225 watts total.

For gubmint work you can almost ignore the load coming off the taps because its all very low so figure 70 ma across each resistance.

Comes out to:
130 ohm = .637 watts
100 ohm = .490 watts
10 ohm = .049 watts each

Maybe 2-watters for the higher values and 1-watters for the 10 ohm?.

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
