Hi Terry:

"I blew up this picture at:

This sure looks like an internal resistor failure
cheers,

Terry"
 
Is there any way to check one of the resistors to see the pattern of the
resistive material on the ceramic core.  This sure looks the same way, that
some of the high voltage MOX resistors used in a 300 KV Marx, looked.  The
resistors were rated for high voltage but turned out to be unuseable for
pulse work.  

Cheers,
Barry
