[R-390] Electronic question

[Kenneth Crips]

A question, I smoked four resistors in My TS520-SE.  My fault, I did an 
idiot job tuning it.  The resistors are on a circuit board controlling the 
grids, plates and modulation of the 6146B finals. no real harm, just have to 
dig through the resistor stash and install another set. The resistors in 
question are all 4000 ohms 1/4 watt carbons. The four are installed in 
parallel sets, the rule as I understand it is
resistors in parallel are always half the lowest resistance, in this case it 
should be about 2000 ohms.  Why do it this way. Why not just
use a single 2000 ohm resistor. The only reason I can think of is
it is a size thing. The area where this circuit board is located is
on the bottom below the finals and there isn't much room. What say
you out there oh great Guru's of the Order of St Videcon.
