RE: 150 or 180 ohms

"wow, those 10 watters really baked the strip and
the connecting wires insulation!"

Yes but had one 20 watt 160-165 ohm been in there the same thing would probably have happened because the heat would have been the same.

It would probably be a good idea to leave a bit of air flow space in between the two 10 watters and not have them touching each other along their entire length.

That terminal strip and associated wiring insulation in my 299A isn't all that bad.

I suppose it could depend on the use the unit saw and what kind of current draw conditions that resistor saw.
