I buy my power resistors from Allied Electronics.

AWG 30 wire can be used for a fuse, but not a glitch protector. A glitch
resistor must remain intact after an event. There are many articles and
posts on this reflector and others, plus the instructions from Eimac on the
tube data manual on how a glitch resistor works, and why it must survive all
events.
