Some of the power resistors can benefit from 25 watt versions, thus 2x12watt. This resistor thing was a short suit for Jim (in my opinion), since the compact layouts can only afford so much real estate. Modeling software can ID those candidates; so can pink noise and a thermometer (or fingers.)

Beetle - I do remember the aluminum cooling bar mis-step. Moving air and greater distance work better.

have you tried Partsconnexion ? 

they list that they are in stock .

@vair68robert thank you. I'll look.

@beetlemania I'll keep that in mind when I get around to the 2.4's. I had my eyes on some hand made resistors from Poland.. think they would come down to 20-25 dollars a piece... 

@vair68robert ... I already checked there it seems. They don't have the 12 Ohm 12 Watt resistors, unfortunately..🤷🏻‍♂️

I see MRA-12 12 Ohm on Sonic Craft and Parts Connexion websites

If *I* was going to spend $25 per resistor, I would get Path and put them only on the coax feeds. I recall looking into this and some of the values are not available in single resistors. And it gets super complicated, with the available Path values,  trying to get the proper values by combining resistors.

It looks like it's not super hard to make your own graphite resistors but it probably takes *many* attempts to get the correct value, especially as a matched pair!
