Thanks for that advice. I'm glad I heard of it now before I got further in
construction. I guess I'm glad I had a PITA week and didn't get as far as I
had hoped on the project :-0.

Looking around in the junk stash, I have found a 50ohm, 225 watt resistor
and two 1k/100 watt resistors which I could put in parallel for 500/200.
Could I use either of these, or do I need to find a 200/200 as suggested?

I am so surprised at the low traffic of this list, when one considers the
amazing amount of HV expertise on tap here. Once again, many thanks!
