Update on Stromberg Carlson SR-406 heat issue

A few replied to my issue of a hot resistor in Stromberg Carlson SR-406
Was hotter than any of the tubes and had damaged some wires

Still got the heat ...... here is how it has been handled
It sounds fantastic

Thanks for the prior comments and suggestions

Installed a lot more 25 watt resistors to replace the single (hot) 1000 ohm x 2 resistor and installed heat sink

Here are the new resistor stacks - each resistor is 25 watt ...... still approx 2 x 1000 ohm

Replaces the single green resistor here

Added a heat sink for the new resistors

Thank you for the update; that is quite the heat-sink. Glad to hear it is working great now.
