[R-390] More PTO stuff

Roger,

I would reply to your email, but since setting up Outlook Express on this 
new machine, it is deleting the messages from the server and it won't let 
me send new mail from this machine.  Not sure why it's deleting messages as 
I'm not deleting them or moving them to the DeletedItems folder.  Oh well.

But, as for your post, the parts you are suggesting to replace are my 
targets.  I went to the local parts store (not Radio Shack) and picked up 
some resistors.  I already have some 4700pF 1kV ceramic disk capacitors 
that are quite small for 1kV rating (bought at the same place).  I got a 
pack of 15pF, 300V, 5% capacitors too.  If shot-gunning the aforementioned 
components doesn't get it, I'm going into the can and replacing the grid 
coupling capacitor.

Hopefully this will all be worth it in the end.  Like you said, this is a 
hobby.  Spending this much time on it for any other purpose would most 
likely be a waste of time and effort.  If it works better when I'm 
finished, I'll be happy.

Thanks for the input!
