You don't measure across the resistor, you measure from one end of the
resistor to the frame of the chassis. That should give you the
readings you need to work from. The end closest to the front of the
chassis is the test point you want. Clip on to that and then try and
adjust your B+ down to 120V. If you can't, then you need to diagnose
farther.

Making a little progress now! with X701 out of circuit, it stays
running. Here's the strange part though.. I'm supposed to get 120V
across the big 220 ohm resistor? I'm getting 9V! just to make sure,
i switched over to AC and got like 1.6VAC @ 16 KHz.. but on the DC
scale, I'm only getting 9V. wierd huh? I checked the HV with my HV
probe, and it's right around 30K. The probe is used and of course it
hasn't been calibrated or anything, so I can't really count on the
accuracy of that reading..

Ok, I feel dumb now.. the B+ pot on the board was turned all the way
up. I brought it about halfway down and it's at a steady 120V. I'm
going to put X701 back in and see what happens. I wonder if that was
all that was "wrong" with it all along :)
