Indeed I am supposed to get one off of another chassis found by a VK member. The chassis is a year newer and he said that it didn't use the 1W 1.5K Ohm resistor that is soldered across pins 4 & 9 on my set.

A 2W 1.2K Ohm is available, but thus far I have not gotten any input on exactly what this resistor does besides the obvious. As it stands I am a bit scared to lessen the value not knowing what critical role the resistor plays and how a change may adversely effect my rectifier or other components. I DO NOT want to lose my flyback if damage isn't already there from high HO cathode currents.
