Quite agree Nick. Only go other routes if you cant find an original, or close to, part. Actually the heat from a dropper doesnt matter as they dont get played for long periods anymore.
Anyway, to cut to the chase as they say.
Looked in my droppers box and I have two that look likely. See DAC90A is given as 1250 on Trader Sheet. One of mine is 1240 Ohms with two moveable tap bands. Never been used.
The other is 1380 Ohms (again never been used) with no tap bands. But one could be taken off another to tap it down to 1250 Ohms.
Both are nominally 20 mm diam. and 95mm tall and on white ceramic formers.
The one with the tap bands, the first, is a coaser wire, less turns. The other is much finer shinny wire and lots of turns.
Can do pics if interested.
