These look like resistance demonstrators for physics labs; slide
potentiometers. Those devices were made very hardy back then, and
while they can easily be replaced by a precision bournes pot or a
used Tegam resistance box, you have it why not use it?
Just make sure the contacts are clean and be wary with the conductors
exposed, its a shock hazard. Given the printed rating its rated for
425 Watts, when it was new.

I know someone who has several of these old style resistors. Can anyone
tell me anything about them? Are they of any use?
