I see an Ohmite adjustable vitreous enamel resistor in various values.
Am I right in guessing that you can adjust the resistor down from its maximum value? For example, if I got the 1.5K/25 watt, could I adjust it down to 1360 ohms?

Add an extra 100 ohm power resistor to the unused end and you'd have the 230 ohm part as well. The adjustable tab becomes the tap, like on the old resistor.
