Hi all;

Trying to save some time.  Anyone have experience with R6 (25ohm/25w)
resistor in the HV overcurrent circuit arcing?

When I 1st opened this amp up, R6, R36(3.3K/2w) and R16 (180k/1/2w) were
all arced and open.  Found a short against the transformer from the PC
board where R16 was soldered in.  Took care of that problem and amp
fires up great now with no immediate arcing. The Plate Current seemed
fine, not excessive.   On tuning up though (power out just fine) R6 has
fried again.

Thanks in advance!
