RE: [TCML] Bleed Resistors - are these ones OK please

Thanks John. I had missed those on Farnell's. I see those are 15M, but I
have found they also do the 10 Meg as well. For anyone else here is that

I used these

a10&_requestid=535624
I ordered mine from newark but those are the same ones.  They worked
excellent.  you will have plenty of voltage headroom seeing they are rated
35000v p-p and i have never had one blow on me.  Just put one across each
capacitor.
