Maybe I should get a spare wire wound resistor to have as a backup since mine is looking bad. Saw one for sale on eBay that looks nice. But hey it’s testing perfect though!
The voltage on those caps is 450, so it’s good there. I’m just going to put the same value replacements in there for now since I know they work. Plus it comes out to 8 anyway. I thought it doubled if they are in series, but it makes sense now! Once I get the oscillator coil rewound and back up and running, I’ll do some voltage checks on the tube pins.
