Hi Ian, it is a dropper resistor and may be for your specific set; looks like a wire wound type which normally do not go up in value, just go O/C.

It will be difficult to find the exact value, but if you can get some RS dropper sections it should be quite easy to replace.
Note asbestos washer underneath.
