[NJARC] What 'load' resistor in place of the tubes?

I'm planning on making my battery eliminator - power supply.
In the breadboard stage...I'd like to use load resistor(s) in place of the
five 201's and 301's in my Stewart Warner 305...so as not to damage them
when/if I have to make circuit adjustments to get the "6" (really 5 actual
volt), 45 & 90 VDC set up.
From what I see, the tube Ip is 3 ma...the filament is 250 ma...making 5 x
3 ma = 15 ma total Ip....5 x 250 ma = 1.25 A total filament current
Only one tube gets 45 VDC
Thus:
45 VDC needs 45/0.003 = 15k ohms say 1/2 watt
90 VDC needs 90/0.012 = 7.5k ohms say 2 watt
5 VDC needs = 5/1.25 = 4 ohms say 10 watt
Would these resistors do the job??
