Voltage Reducing Resistors [was: current limiting resistors]

[fenderbass39uk]

With the volume on 1/3 to 1/2 I was dropping about 18v so its relative to how hard the amp is working

I confess I used my admin super powers to correct the title of this thread

update4;
strange going's on! my wall "mains" voltage keeps fluctuating between 245 to 250 VAC. i've just done a voltage test and the mains is now 250VAC which has increased the HT to 319-0-319 with 310 volts post 25W's at pins 1 & 7 of the ez81. B+ is now 366 VDC at the first cap "too much" so it look's like i'll have to invest in a variac to be accurate with my testing!
this has got me a bit paranoid now in thinking is the extra resistance of the voltage reducers affecting the HT winding? i know those 8 & 14W's got very hot so would the HT windings have been affected by the heat?

My wall voltage seems to go between 242-248 all the time Geoff probably depends on the load variations in the area. As I've deliberately gone a bit lower on my B+ I'm not too concerned.........or do we need zeners!
