RE: More questions regarding voltage regulator tubes

Chassis mount resistors are garbage in terms of the power they can actually dissipate. I'd recommend reading the entire datasheet on a well documented one like the big Vishay/Dale ones. You'll end up seeing a chart of what they can handle without a chassis, and at some point you should also end up seeing what they consider a "chassis", which may be a 12"x12" piece of aluminum 1/4" thick.

Xicon has some 25W wirewound resistors that aren't too expensive and are easy to find on Mouser.
