I don't know, how much voltage drop is required, as Sams doesn't specify a resistance value.
Dang. Learn somethin' new every day. Be interesting to know more background theory on da resistance wire thing. Maybe to de-stress the 3AT2 and exclusive to Zenith (?)
All the HV rect filamant loops I ever replaced were standard anode wire. Occasionally there was one (usually B&W) that had a small resistor of a few ohms in series with the fil. This was always in other brands than Zenith.
