Sb-200 question...

[Guy G. Giacopuzzi]

For all you tech guys...

I recently blew one of the 33 ohm grid resistors on the above...did it 
by accidentally powering up into a high SWR load...once I got the unit 
apart, I looked up Robert Norgards' "SB-200 Notes" where he talks about 
upping the wattage rating on these grid resistors (there's two of them, 
one feeding the grid of each tube) from 1 watt to 2 watts....what do you 
think about this?  If this resistor hadn't blown, would something more 
expensive had blown out?  As far as I can tell, nothing else is 
damaged...checked the tube for shorts, looked at other 
components...everything else is ok....
