That to me was an obvious choice in this case. That resistor replaced a resistor that used to be in the lower right corner of the second picture. There was so much heat there that it ended up burning the terminals right off the phenolic strip, and the old resistor was just dangling. I also upped the rating on it, and used a 25 watt instead of a 15 IIRC.
I fully believe in over-building a circuit, especially when it's apparent that the way it was made just wasn't good enough over the long haul
I'll be doing this job today, after all the housework I just ran out of steam last night....
At the risk of sounding like an idiot, B+ is checked across the first filter cap, yes?
