Carbon-film resistors make good grid-fusing resistors, providing the 
W-rating is such that they are able to open fast enough to protect the 
grid during a glitch.  For grid fusing with 811As and 3-500Zs, I use 
30-ohm, 0.25W-rated carbon film resistors.  I tried using 0.5W-rated, 
30-ohm units, but I discovered that they were a bit too hard to blow to 
protect 811As.
    In my opinion, a blown 51-ohm, 2W grid resistor in an 811A amplifier 
indicates that a VHF parasitic oscillation may have taken place, so 
merely replacing the resistor is not the solution.
