€  To test a glitch resistor, short the HV+ to gnd.  [Before doing this 
test, install suitable glitch diodes across the meters and across the 
grid current and anode/plate current shunt resistors]  The glitch 
resistor should not exhibit physical damage or a change in R.  If the 
glitch resistor does pass the test, discard it, install two such 
resistors in series, and repeat the test.
