I can't comment on your GF working in a TC. I've not personally tried it,
but the prevailing wisdom is that it typically doesn't work in a TC
application. I wonder if higher voltage GF NST's are more affected than
lower voltage ones?
The resistors - 1KOhm, 25Watt, 210-what? What are these for? It sounds
like they're intended to be part of a protection network, except that
resistors must be used with capacitors to form a low-pass filter network.
By themselves or with safety gaps, resistors serve no protective purpose.
