Fusistor Replacement - RCA 14PD8054

A set I am working on calls for a 5.6 ohm, 5 watt Fusistor. Can I simply replace with a 5.6 ohm 5 watt resistor with a fuse in series? When I calculate out the fuse value, it sounds very small.

The set is an RCA 14PD8054 with a hot chassis. This fusistor is the first thing off the AC line as feed/protection for the B+ supply. Should I assume 120 volts (line voltage) x .041 amps (potential fuse) = 5 watts (resistor rating) for my fuse calculation? Then select a small slo-blo fuse as close to .041 amp as I can find?

Thanks
