Default blower motor resistor

Hello all. Been a while since I was here. I have a 1983 Electra Park Ave with auto temp control. the blower motor stopped working about a month ago. Just got around to looking at it today and found the main feed wire terminal on the resistor rotted off, so I need a new one. Problem is there isn't a new one available any more. Any one have an idea where to find one. By the way this one has 6 terminals. All the ones I've found on line are 4 terminal.

Welcome to the forums. It sucks when parts no longer available.
Junk yard & or start searching fleabay etc, somebody still may have one out there for sale.
Could also place a wanted Ad in our section: https://www.gmforum.com/wanted-103/

Thanks for the reply. I've looked on fleabay, lots of no a/c resistors but nothing for auto a/c. So I shadetree'd it. took the resistor out drilled a hole in it ran a 10 gauge wire thru
the hole soldered it to the circuit board connected the wire to the feed wire and PRESTO!! works like new.
