I guess I will go ahead and jump over what was going to be a new resistor. Although not needed for the set's operation, I was thinking that at least it was providing a short circuit protection of sorts as they go open due to shorted rectifiers. When way more experienced techs say "DO NOT", I listen!

Thanks again!
