Just looked up ... the suckers are running $25-30 at the wholesale
electronics suppliers. I don't want to know what they cost when they come
in a Beech box.

That's unfortunately not the case, Dan. Everything Wichita turned out up
until the mid 60s used Ohmite wirewounds. Of course, they would burn out
right where the wire got the hottest ... where the resistance of the bulbs
and the resistance of the pot were the same. THis was almost always 10%
or so from the high side contact of the pot.

. Wirewound pots
aren't common in the resistances used here and they cost too much.
