Steve,
Yes I thought the same but this section was getting very hot (smoking, 130+ on my infrared thermometer before I shut it down) so I figured it wasn't worth taking a chance on it as every reference I had showed 180 on the WW resistor. I pulled 4 and 5 from the WW and added a terminal point to connect the leads, so the readings would be in spec for the 5 to 6 and the 4 to 5 with 5 being attached to ground.

Brobertson,
This is a WireWound resistor with multiple (6) connections. I didn't look at all the links you listed, but looked at the original and at revisions and the 180 number is where I headed. The set runs well now and that's a good thing...lol

Glenn
Happily back in Illinois..not.
