[Amps] plate voltage meter shunt

[Bill Turner]

Another advantage of using the bleeder string instead of a separate multiplier
resistor is you monitor two parameters with one circuit.

1. Not only do you save money on a separate and expensive HV resistor.
but 
2. You are also monitoring the health of your bleeder string. If you see an
unexpected change in the indicated plate voltage, that might be a real change or
it might indicate a resistor in the bleeder string is failing. Either way,
troubleshooting is called for. 

If it's a bleeder resistor failing, you might catch it in time to prevent damage
to your filter caps. Otherwise, you'd never know until it's too late. 

Two for the price of one and cheaper besides. That's always good design
practice.
