Hi again,
    I've been thinking about it more and  seem to remember that this 
power supply was meant for a copier machine.   I'm thinking that it 
probably is a pulsed DC output due to that.  If I replaced the 
resistor with the one I was talking about,  the input impedace from 
the inductance aside,  it would have over 12 times the power 
input....not sure it could handle that even if I shorted the output 
through a spark gap.

Hi Mike,

Good question.  I suspect you could try it and monitor the heat build
up without damaging it.  If the tar gets too hot and melts, not too
sure if it would result in internal arcing.  You might even try to go
with 400 ohms first or get rid of the resister and try an inductive
ballast.  Sometimes it is worth the lost of a part to gain the
knowledge.
