it seems to be shorting to the chassis, hard to tell. There were two unused points on a term strip nearby, I did the open section there the 215v to 135v 850ohm. I Made up a 850 from 4 5w sand resistors i had on hand. a 300+350+100+100 in series. I work out to about 3watts 3.5 watts 1 watt and 1 watt. No wonder that resistor is out back its nearly 9 watts total (and the spec says a 7 watt). There are still two more a 650 and 650 they seem ok for now but I will fix that next time I go to the surplus store. I pretty much used up my supply of sand resistors. I do like the 5 watt jobs in series, maybe a 300+350 for the 650's.
Its working great now, I have posted some pics over at ARF.
