Like I said early on, changing the resistor to increase the power rating is a must. Whether or not the new resistor stays in the VFO cabinet or is moved under the chassis is the debate :)

Hi Scott:
Actually, I don't think the issue is really frequency
drift as opposed to the catastrophic results of
leaving that 18k resistor in the vfo compartment. Ask
W3BYM (Tom Marcello) (?). He had this problem and
hence a large restorative undertaking that could have
been prevented with the resistor changed and outside
the box.
JMHO.
