    You can do serial also, for instance 43K + 56K = 99K

    It's been 10 years now since they stopped production of the Shinkoh tantalum and all the popular values such as 1K, 10K and 100K are gone long...

    Thanks for doing the temp measurements..! :) The 80 deg for the plate loads is what I would consider the safe zone, they should last. Great news!...

    Yes, I know they make the stacked versions, but they don't seem to be in stock, and they are quite expensive. I might spend $100 on resistors...

    The voltage is on the edge too. The max rated voltage of 200V is below what Dough recommended earlier in the thread (I think it was 300 volt)....

    :) Your measuring points at the output are perfect for parallel resistors
