Its a workin again . . . .
Wooo Hoooo!
Well got my resistor today from the parts place. A single resistor this time, 470 ohm at 25 watts. I lucked out that I didn't have to pull the whole chassis out, I just had to angle it to get behind the HV cage.
Replaced it and I've got my sound and HV.
BUT!!!!!!!! When R191 failed it took out my HOT!!! The lack of Bias on the tube cooked it in a minute! The 6JS6C! Thats a 56 dollar tube from AES.
If you read the first post I said that I went through two 6JS6c. Well I replaced one and was using the second. The first I replaced because it gave "horizontal ringing" in the picture. It wasn't worn. It gave me faint vertical bars in the middle of the screen, just an annoyance. Since the replacement tube just gave up the ghost I've got that origional 6JS6 back in the set. It works fine except for the "ringing" in the picture than I guess its ok. These tubes are too darn expensive to swap out for a minor issue. I'll leave it until it really does wear out.
Thank you everyone for all your advise. Always good to know I can come here for help.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!
