" There was a power resistor in the screen grid section of the horizontal output tubes that showed very intermittent results with the ohm meter test. It had to be replaced. The original was a chassis mount which is unobtainable. "
Chassis mount resistors are FAR from unattainable. The original candohm style is long out of production, but chassis mount Dale and other types are still made and abundant... heck above Around 50 watts it is almost impossible to find a non-chassis mount type.
Nothing wrong with what he did though. Granted a chassis mount will sink heat to the chassis which can be advantageous for component temperature.
