Subject: [Amps] TL-922 grid chokes

The grid chokes in my TL-922 were replaced with 10 ohm resistors 
by the previous owner.  The amp works fine except on 10 M where the 
resistors go up in smoke within a few seconds.

This bring up several questions.

1. Is the amplifier oscillating on 10 M?

2. Should I replace the resistors with the factory 470 uH chokes 
or directly ground the grids?

3. Where can I get replacement grid chokes?

4. I?ve read about adding/increasing negative feedback.  Does anyone 
have suggestions?

Thanks for any and all comments.
