[R-1051] Oven Bridge Resistor

I am trying to repair the oven bridge resistor mounted on the underside of the oven on the frequency standard module. I removed the plastic foam with a drimmel wheel. The resistor is cooked, and split open. It is a wire wound resistor using extremely fine wire. Is this resistor a thermistor? What is the cold resistance? I cannot measure because the fine wire is destroyed. This resistance can be found by pulling the crystal board from  the oven . There is a 5 prong connector at the bottom of the oven cavity. Pin 5 is 5 MHz output, 4 is 28vdc, 2 is the top end of the oven heater wire. The bridge resistor is between prong 3 (middle) and chassis ground pin 1.
Thanks
