Well for all you kats and kittens that are waiting with baited breath to hear what is happening with the 42-854 the resistor for the filament voltage divider came in the mail the other day. Had a little surprise as I thought I was get just 1 but got 3. So this afternoon I removed the old one and install the new. Thought I'd take a few pics before I power it up and it burst into flames! Also replaced a few pieces of rubber wire and broke the socket for the 1LB4. I think I can repair it, the center part pulled up though the socket and the cover popped off. Off to put the tube back and add some power/watch for smoke!
