[Boatanchors] Replacing Meter Shunt Johnson Valiant

[Mark K3MSB]

 Gregg -- Isn't R57 for the Grid current?   Personally, I wouldn't worry
about 5.1 ohms.   A  modern 5 ohm 5% resistor will probably be much more
accurate than a 5.1 ohm 5% resistor that came with the unit.

I didn't have to replace R57 on my Valiant, but I probably would have used
a standard metal oxide resistor.

BTW, check your plate and modulator current shunts and especially the
grounds associated with them.
