Generally speaking, avoiding heat in a wire wound resistor
is right up there with avoiding heat in your home heating
system.
If you were it put in a higher wattage more modern resistor,
you most likely would find that it was smaller, and got hotter.

Thanks Chuck
Its a 10w resistor with about 9w dissipation so I guess it is doing
what it was designed to do. As a hobbyist only having worked on a few
solid state amplifiers, all you read suggests avoiding such heat in a
resistor.
