I replaced RFC2 with a Ohmite pn B20J10RE (10 ohm / 20W) vitreous enamel
wirewound resistor. It JUST fits.

That blown resistor may have been underated and blew during a tube arc. The
idea of a surge suppressor is to not fail and allow the milliseconds for a
fuse/breaker to open.
A 10-15 Ohm 20-25W Real wirewound resistor will cure that problem. Look for
Vitreous Enamel in the description.
