Yes, it had a resistive cord ahead of the 50 ohm candohm. Candohm checked out at 52 ohms so it's okay. The power cord is bad; is was supposed to have 135 (not 133 as I said earlier) ohms but only measured about 22 ohms. So I have to replace it with a non-resisitve cord and knock down the voltage. Now I'm thinking a diode on the power cord leg going into the 25Z5 tube. That's what I'm needing a size or a # on---the diode. I figure with the correct diode, I can add a 17ohm 2 or 3 watt power resistor and have little heat involved.
