I was hoping for that, would have made an easy repair. Both elements were open somewhere near the middle, meaning I have to start over from the beginning.
BTW, you're only an hour from me in Great Mills- stop by sometime.
So looks like the only viable option here is probably mounting some big sand resistors in the LV cage then? I hate doing that, but this chassis is already a little hacked I suppose. Had a 6JE6 in it for H-sweep when I got it. lol
