There's a 1.5 meg resistor across the pot that's not in the schematic. So if the pot was 1 meg like it's supposed to be, then the resistance across it couldn't be higher than .6 megs but it measured 1.1. So I ordered the NOS one and a NOS 6HS5.

So I did that, and didn't see any open spots, but what I did see is that the pot is 3.5 megs when the schematic has it listed as a 1 meg. So with that 1.5 meg resistor across it, it would measure 1.05 megs, and it was close enough.
So my dilemma is: do I use the NOS 1 meg pot and leave the 1.5 meg resistor out, or hook the original back up? I'd prefer to use the new one since I'm going to have it anyway & they're known to go bad, but don't want to modify the HV circuit because I don't know why they did it like that. Thoughts on this are appreciated!
