Make that "older-timers." Just purchased an Empire Devices AT-58 6 dB attenuator. It's big - looks like it ought to handle 100 Watts, but there is no indication of the power handling capability.
Input and output are marked, and only the input side is supposed to face the high power source, so the rating of internal resistors is based on individual power dissipation - schematically these things are symmetrical so the power rating is the only reason for marking input and output. Any leads on this?
