I just ran into a bad candohm section in a Dumont RA-113. I've found bad ones in a few other sets too so I like to replace them entirely whenever possible. Sure, those fancy (and expensive) aluminum housed ones would work well. Another option is to use over sized (2x wattage) vitreous or enamel coated power resistors and mount them on terminal strips. They'll handle the heat no problem.
