That same resistor died in my 30A1 as well. While I would get a picture, it was very wide, and the width control had no effect. I bought a replacement that was equal to the original tap (I had to buy 2 and put them in series as I couldn't get the exact value I needed in one). Once replaced, the raster was a much better size and shape, plus the width control worked again.

Look closely at the dimensions when ordering a new one. In my case the disclaimer "The actual part may differ from the picture" bit me. I thought I'd be able to simply stack the resistors on top of each oth on the original mounting screw, but both units were tall, too tall to do this with. I had to fabricate a holder to mount them both side-by-side in the cage. D'oh!
