Ten Tec 425 Titan uses a single 10 ohm, 25 watt ohmite wirewound.

That is for a glitch - the resistor limits the current in the even the tube 
(or whatever) arcs and dumps the B+ to ground.  The caps will discharge 
through that resistor.

I went through that sourcing a couple of months back.  Check out the ohmite 
power resistors - about 4" long vitreous enamel covered 50w, if you have the

room.  Should do the job.
