[AMPS] Re: SB-200 PS Question

[Roy Koeppe]

"After about 3 minutes of use, the HV bleeder resistors start to
smoke from overheating. If I shut the amp off and let it cool, it will
do the
same again after a brief period. HV looks good on the meter, and it
RF-wise
it it ok."

The bleeder resistors in an SB-200 normally run very hot. It may be your
resistors are just dirty, and are burning off the crud layer.
