Carl,
I got a real laugh out of that. Thanks.
The point in my email was for people to think about amplifiers, early
Hallicrafters, WRL, National, etc equipment that they are trying to restore
or just get working. Take time before plugging the equipment into the wall
because many times those pieces "will let out the smoke" and then you will
have a real big problem on your hands.
I recently purchased a Fluke 117--wow-- best DMM I ever had. That DMM has
been invaluable to trouble shoot radios.
Ok Merry Christmas to all. I have to hit the road.

You havent lived until you find a 47K that became 1-2 Meg which is quite
common in many old receivers and sourced at only 200-250VDC as screen
droppers.
Over 50+ years of building and servicing tube gear Ive only found a
handful that went down in resistance.
I have a conservative 10K of NOS carbon resistors and about half again in
used condition going back to the late 20's

It's been my experience that the 2 watt ones are the worst. I measured 1
meg resistors that have drifted up to 2.5 megs.
So, think your high voltage is low and your power supply is going south?
Measure the resistors first that feed the voltmeter.
