philco 40-170CS overheating resister
#2

Hey! I have a couple of quick questions to get some more information!

What do you mean when you say resister 20 overheated? Did it just get warm/hot or did it smoke?

How many volts were you at when you were pulling 34 watts? The set is rated at 35 watts and from a cold start, you may pull considerably more than that until the tubes warm up.

One easy thing you can check is to see if anything along the path of that resistor looks or could be shorted.
