It does not HAVE to be that exact type. The metalized will probably just be a bit smaller for a given wattage than a carbon type. And you aren't worried about high accuracy or noise (as some carbon resistors do with hi-end audio).

So a typical 1W 20Ω resistor from radioshack will be fine. Actually, any value from 10Ω to 50Ω will work, and power values 1w to 2w will be fine. You could even parallel a couple 100Ω 1/2w resistors (very common) and get the 50Ω @ 1w...
