Hi;
When you are replacing a power resistor, or any resistor, you want it in a larger wattage then you need for both heat dissipation and durabilty. Power resistors are typically rated in 1 Watt, 2 Watt, 3 Watt, 5 Watt, 10 Watt, 15 Watt, 20 Watt, and 25 Watt sizes. Since most modern resistors are smaller then the 1928-29 variety space isn't really an issue.
