I have one that looks nice, haven't tested it.  PM me an offer, I might be able to get it out tonight.

I tested my pack & came up with 2.0 ohm (skinny wire on top), 1 ohm (thicker middle wire) and 0.5 ohm (big wire on bottom).  My DMM was all over the place though...and I have no idea what kind of wattage these resistors would need.

Hmmm...mine are off then.  Gustavo says:
    *  1.6 Ohm
    * .9 Ohm
    * .35 Ohm
