That's unfortunately not the case, Dan. Everything Wichita turned out up
until the mid 60s used Ohmite wirewounds. Of course, they would burn out
right where the wire got the hottest ... where the resistance of the bulbs

so from the high side contact of the pot.

aren't common in the resistances used here and they cost too much.

That is exactly where my pot would burn out.
