One of the casualties in my expiring VT100 PSU last weekend was a 2W
resistor named R22, or at least it seems more dead than its twin at R47

You mentioned BA11-K slides...
All the original slides I've ever seen for BA11-K boxes are the "cantilever"
slides, what allow you to tilt the unit up 90 degrees once it is extended.
On the BA11-K this makes sense, so that you can easily get to the backplane
for wirewraps.
So were the slid
