[Amps] Alpha 99 question

[TexasRF at aol.com]

Just a wild guess on my part: zener tolerances are not wonderful, perhaps  
the zener in the 30v location is hand picked as needed to make the total  
voltage correct.

I'm  working on a friends Alpha that appears to have blown
the screen regulator  circuit. The circuit is a IRF 830 with
the gate regulated at 360 volts by 4  Zeners. Two of the
Zeners are 150 volt and two are 30 volt! Is there  some
strange reason for this configuration that I don't know
about? I  would think that four 91 volt or 87 volt Zeners
would be better.
