Nothing special other than it was a higher wattage than other resistors and they achieved higher wattage by using wire wound construction of the resistor.  Today they are often called power resistors and in many cases if not all are also wire wound but they look different.  some are in what looks like a sand casting, some ceramic and some in metal.  One of the other guys will have to tell you what wattage to look for.

Thanks for the info.It least with that info i can put in another resistor and keep working.
