[Elecraft] weird power stuff

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

It may sound obvious, but is that resistor soldered in on both ends?

Any possible solder bridge at either end? 

Is the resistor intermittent? They do "break" - even modern film ones. Maybe
*especially* film ones if they've been slightly damaged. I small crack in
the outer cover can lead to a crack in the resistance element that pushes
the value all over the place. 

If things are really strange, back up a step to where it worked last. If
everything looks perfect, put the original resistor back in and see if the
problem persists. 

99.9% of the time a failure like that has to do with the thing you touched
last, no matter how unlikely it seems.

  Nope.

  ...but what? Any thoughts on what to check?
