i am happy you got it fixed, i dont mean to give you a rough time but, i didnt know a 5 watt wire wound resistor could change value, in the past i have either found open or right on resistance in these big ones. are you sure your ohm meter is ok? if this is true, i better start looking closer at these resistors also. you may have opened my eyes to this.
