[R-390] Crystal Oven Heater Resistance

Page 108 of my photocopied manual has a chart (Not numbered) for some 
preliminary resistance checks when trouble shooting.  Pin J208-F, on the RF 
deck, to ground is listed at not less than 100 ohms. (Tubes pulled and 
presumably with HR202, the assembly with the 200 Kc and 17 Mc crystals, not 
pulled)  I measure approximately 5 ohms on this radio.

I tracked down the resistance to be the heater in HR202.  With HR202 pulled 
the resistance at J208-F is infinity.  Can anyone confirm whether or not the 
manual figure of 100 ohms figure is correct?
