630 Bleeder resistors

[Geist]

Hi All;
Phil, Thank You for your answer.. If, I remember right, in your 630, Your round bleeder was bad and Your Flat one was good.. And mine was just the opposite.. I will put in a tie point below the flat resistor, and mount the parts there for now.. once I have it working for awhile, I will find another place for it.. That way I can keep tabs on those parts, checking for more failures.. Since this seems to be the most failure prone place in the set.. What did they do in later sets, that was not so prone to failure ?? In my 8T243 they have a big long flat bleeder resistor, but, I have heard that it caused trouble for that set as well.. Or was it that way with Tube Sets, with all the power draw ??
THANK YOU Marty
