[Henry] R106 in 3K Classic-X

Sun Sep 17 23:37:05 EDT 2006

I heard a loud pop in my Henry this morning the instant I turned on
the power switch. On inspection, I discovered R106 had
blown/cracked/busted ;) Best I can tell R106 is some sort of HV
protection scheme/fuse. This was one of those mornings where it was
too cool to have the shack heated, and still too warm to run the AC,
so humidity prevailed and I should have known better. I am hoping
that simply replacing R106 will take care of the problem. I have
ordered 4 (just in case) 25 ohm, 25watt wire wound jobs from Mouser.
Other than the 8877 which I have no way of testing, I can not find any
other visible arc paths, etc. in the HV circuit.
Anyone else had this happen? Any suggestions appreciated.
