Thanks for the info Bill, and its interesting that such low ohmage resistors can do that!
It shows you how and mosture intrusion over time gets to Carbon type resistors since usually it's values above 10K ohms that will do that, and certainly a 1/2 watt resistor rated at 300 volts peak is not stressed out running at under 50 volts!

And new metal film types from China are no guarantee either since the company I work for as some of its products makes a line of tube Mic's and I have had more then a few new Mic's with a hiss / ocean noise issue the stemed from a metal resistor being defective.

Thanks again!
