I also have those resistors if he is out. The original resistors were sort of
specialspecial in a way. They are sort of a fuse type. They were used in the
Drake L4 B+ line and asasa grid shunt in the 220. They look just like a full
carbon composition but it isn't Just that.

Tom, go to Harbach and buy a pack of their .82ohm resistors 2W ( $6). Your
resistor did its job as it acts like a fuse in case there is a tube or other
b+ short. Many amps used something like this. I had this issue with my L4B
recently when a tube failed. Glad Harbach has the resistors since
otherwise there are hard to find.

Hi-
My SB 220 has what appears to be a glass coated wirewound resistor in series
with the anode B+ supply lead just before the RF chokes. It is not on the
schematic so must have been a modification done at some point. It blew up in
spectacular fashion one day and I hesitate to just replace it without having
some idea of what may have been the root cause. I do not have much of an
electronics background and would appreciate if someone could suggest some
things that I should check out before I try to put it back on line.
