This set still blows the main resistor when I try to fire it up. It is R1, 2.7 at 15w Ceramic. I have looked everywhere I can to find any tips on this set and have come up empty-handed. I now have two days left to get it done, and I am pulling out my hair. Does "anyone" have any tips on this unit that might account for this happening? I am desperate now and need some advice. Thanks, John.
