Hacker RV14 front end problems

[bristle66]

Many thanks, guys. C35/36 are rated at 500V. But, just to be on the safe side, I'll fit a series resistor as recommended by Mark. I'll experiment with values to get the HT closer to 250V.

I'm indebted to all of you for your guidance and your patience. I'm sure hand holding must be a pain but, believe me, it's necessary and greatly appreciated. Thanks again
