FAIK, they no longer make them.
You have to drill out the rivets and mount a tag strip and source two 50ohm 5 watt wire wound resistors connected the same. You have to determine which section is burned out, or maybe both. You could possibly bridge the open section using the resistor in place as a tag strip. Some restorers frown on the practice! You still have to get comfortable with using a multi-meter to be able to trouble shoot yourself. Dave, USradcoll1
Correcting the last entry, the resistor shunting the panel lamp is a 20ohm and not a 50ohm.
Dave, USradcoll1, as usual!
