Although it's true that some of the repop ignition resistor's are inferior to the originals, I've also had original resistors fail with high resistance connection crimps to ends of the nichrome wire heating element that have intermittently acted like an open circuit, and I've also had the wire element with either shorted turns or completely burned open on original ignition resistors.
