Jim,
That's what it's for but it don't look to be the right value. The original dwg
(black dwg) looks to be a 15K 20W. Others I've seen though use a little more
resistance than that if I recall. About all screen circuits I've seen will have
that because of being able to have + and - current at times. Because of this
same thing, a shunt regulator is better than a series like the one in the black
dwg. The design in the black dwg will work though as it has been built by
another ham. Below is a link to an amp using a GU-43B and it uses a 27K 10 watt
with a shunt regulator. There is also two 230 Vac varistors in series to ground
off the screen (safety). The screen voltage runs about +350 on this amp and is
a decent setup. One thing this ham does is to use a light bulb for the shunt
regulators dropping resistor.
