Hey, the nice thing about those is that they are
variable too, so they could be adjusted to accomodate
a variety of tube types and coil configurations.  I
plan on getting my hands on a few vacuum caps as well
for that same purpose.  I would have a coil that could
be rapidly tweaked to try out new tubes.

There is a hamfest coming up I believe Feb 25, which
is usually huge and has tons of components available
for cheap, plus you can trade and haggle.  If that
doesn't yield the resistors I need, I will order those
rheostats.  A months is just a long time to wait when
I have every other component I need.  We'll just have
to see how it goes.  Thanks for the info.

-Brett
