Several things can cause fireworks Paul.

Gassy tubes, improper antenna relay sequencing, arcs or other 
intermittents in external hardware on the output side, poor 
connections, exciter transients, improper loading, dirt and debris in 
critical HV spots, defective components, a series-resonance in a 
choke, and so on.

That's why I ask what else is changed instead of just the 
suppressors. Often times people fix the problem by repairing 
damaged components, and think they added a "cure" with 
nichrome.
