If you think that's bad, try replacing the 1 meg dropping resistors in the 
Hi Voltage measuring circuit. After 3 days, I nicknamed the amp "The 
Amplifier from Hell". I bought the $4 high voltage resistors from Mouser. I 
am never going to go there again.

Servicing this amp can be a pure nightmare.

I have to agree on that.
If you want a laugh (sort of) go read the review in QST from many
years ago. The reviewer stated that this amp appeared to be very easy
to work on.  I would invite him to change the meter lamps and see if
he still has that opinion.
