Hi Kevin! Thank you for your fast response!
Just for clarification, what do you mean by "typical voltage ratios"? I assume you mean that Vs is near but less than Vs, and that is the case. Good to see that this is normal, and I didn't see any signs of heating on the plates.
How hot can the screen resistors safely be? I tend to follow a rule of thumb that if it is too hot to touch, it's too hot. But I also know parts are designed to run much hotter than we can stand. It's weird because, I used some 5W resistors on the screens and they got hot, I upped them to some Welwyn 7W and those began to cook, I tried other 7W parts and those barely got warm. So I figured with some beefy 10W parts things would stay nice and cool, but these were toasty.
