[NJARC] Bleeder Resistor

Hi-
Technical Question for everyone-

I am restoring a power unit, and part of it jumps a base voltage up to double its voltage. It uses a 2 lead transformer output, and adds a third line, returning power through a pair of diodes to one side, which feeds it out through a pair of diodes, making a full wave rectifier as well, with a pair of electrolytics between each side and center, and then a pair of resistors between each. This resistor started out as a 30K center tapped 20W resistor, which is now MIA. It looks like 15k is to either side of the center line, one going to each direction of diode equipped line.

What can I replace this resistor with? I am trying to restore a power supply...

Thanks!
Scott
