Things are progressing nicely. I have reached the point where I am dealing with the bias resistor, the 3 section candohm. Here is a link to the schematic. The bias resistor is number 43.

From what I can see, the high voltage current through it would be a max of 70 milliamps, or .07 amps, as that is the rating of the HV winding of the transformer. The resistor is a total of 245 ohms. Using power equals current squared times resistance, I make that to be, 1.2005 watts. If I use 2 watt resistors for each of the sections I should be golden, I figure. Am I figuring right ? What have others used in this case ? Advice will be appreciated.
