If I do have to replace the resistors, is the wire gauge,
and number of turns for the chokes, critical?
I haven't found it to be critical. I generally use the solid tinned
wire that radio shack sells on a small white reel, wrapped three or so
times around a 2-watt carbon resistor. The resistor is usually 47-ohm
or thereabouts.
No I wasn't on the AM net. At 9:30 CT I checked into WB9GKZ's classic
SSB net on 3840 kHz with my KW Electronics KW-2000B transceiver. I
tried to use it last week too but it needed fixin' before it was
reliable enough for actual use.

I'm hoping it's as simple as that (they looked kind of ratty, when I
pulled
the plate caps to do plate to grid checks). If I do have to replace the
resistors, is the wire gauge, and number of turns for the chokes,
critical?

P.S. - were you on yesterday morning's net? Condx. sure were kind of
weird
to Rob, WA9ZTY. I checked in with the mighty Scout 680, easily, and Rob
took a nosedive into the noise 10 minutes later. Go figure.

Yes, the final could have gone into parasitics and the suppressor
resistors had to work hard and released some smoke. Fortunately they
are very easy to make...
