[AMPS] SB-1000 mods?

[Phil Clements]

The point is that they are both too small if they fail.
At  C. 3800-4000v, a 10 ohm 10 watt resistor will fail.
The glass coated ones usually break cleanly, as if they
were sawed in two. I have learned the hard
way to not use 10 watt resistors above 2500-3000v.
