This is a ceramic brick style resistor. It's used in my silvertone (ctc-15) LV power supply. Actuallly RCA calls for 1300 ohm 18W, silvertone calls for 1400 ohm 18W. Probably either would be fine. It's not burned out, just been real hot at some time in the past, and raised in value. I guess I could scab another resistor across it to bring the resistance back down...

Mouser didnt have it. Does anyone still make it? Any hope?

John, one good source is Surplus Sales of Nebraska:

I vote for the Surplus Sales of Nebraska also. Get the (RWF) RH25-1400, aluminum body with fins.
This one needs additional cooling, a cooling radiator or a piece of tin.
