I'm in need of a replacement for this resistor in my MEP803A generator. It's designated "LED resistor" on the schematic and is in series with the AC interrupter. The resistor failed last week and I've got a couple of alligators and a couple of cement resistors temporarily jumped in, but I would like to find the correct part. All of the electronics supply houses have them as non-stocked items, but if I want to order 180 pieces, they're happy to order them. LOL
Here's the spec and a photo.

It's almost certainly a made-to-order part so no-one will stock it. There are other 10W resistor series, probably the way to go.
Finding one with the right hole spacing is proving to be challenging. I'm seriously considering leaving this one in place and just soldering a standard 10W resistor across it.
Jus tried placing an order for four pieces. $19.99 for shipping and they won't ship less than a subtotal $99 min order.
I check local surplus they didn't have any that type..
Maybe Ill dig thru some unsorted boxes i have..
I have some that style but larger.. but may have it,, Ill see

From the 'caramelization' of the wires I garner that this resistor runs pretty hot. Does it have to be anything special or would a normal Vishay/Dale 25 W chassis mounted type work? RN-series if I remember right.

Nothing special about the resistor, just that it needs to fit the mechanical spacing of the mounting spacers. It's the "LED resistor" on a MEP-803A military generator. Basically when the original failed, the AC interrupter could not be activated. I jumped in a temporary string of resistors to get it working in emergency situation, but having the correct resistor would be much better, obviously.
I'd rather not play guessing games on the dimensions vs the position of the spacers.
Worse comes to worse, I'll just leave the open resistor in place and solder a new one in place over the connections. Gonna be a real pain to deal with those screws and nuts behind the panel with one hand access only (it's behind a control panel that is not removable.)
