Possibly, you could find a hollow power resistor and just mount it in the same place, or alternatively, just use resistors similar to the ones you are trying temporarily.
I have to thank you for your tenacity. You find and attack all of the "Tough Dog" problems and come up with solutions so that when we get going on a project, you have already found and fixed it!
Oh yeah, it looks great!!!

According to the service info, you use he center tap unless you can't get hor. linearity by adjusting the linearity and drive controls. However, it clearly does affect the width too.
The only 50W fixed tubular resistors available are 5K, 7.5K or 10K. Coincidentally, the 7.5K are on
sale at Allied so I ordered a few along with some 20K power resistor to put in parallel. There are also adjustable 50W 10K resistors, but the power rating is proportional to the tap position. So if I put it around 6K, I've reduced it to a 30W resistor.

I find that interesting, in that even if it is mostly the same design, the Bad section in the one in my 8T30 is the one between the second and the third lugs (500 Ohms) and not the first section of 5800 Ohms.. Is is the First section that is bad in all of your resistors that you have checked ??
THANK YOU Marty

The first section is bad in every resistor I checked
