I replaced R123 with a wirewound of the same spec. That's why the set had no HV, it was open. I replaced R127B with a chassis mounted Dale resistor, but now that I think about it, I dressed the lead at a 90 degree angle, and there was *maybe* 1/4" clearance between the chassis and the resistor. Is it possible that all I did was create a gap just large enough for spark to jump to chassis ground?
I haven't replaced the resistor and powered it up since. Figured I'd verify all my work before I did.
When that thing sparked, it was like a welding arc......
