Ohmite 50 and 100W non inductive resistors, including 50 Ohms. The caveat
is that they give an inductance rating! That would lead me to assume
that they are not HF RF rated but maybe for LF, audio and switcher
supplies. Anyway the 50W is rated at 0.8uh and the 100W at 1.6uh.
as anyone experimented with these at HF, tuning out the XL, etc. ? The
prices are a reasonable $9.19 and $16.81 respectively.

I've heard that "non-inductive" resistors are wound with one
esistance element spiraling right handed and a separate one spiraling
left handed. The idea is the inductance is supposed to cancel, but
the winding is never perfectly symmetrical, so it doesn't. I don't
know if that's what you've got, but I'd beware of them.
