**For unknown reasons, the heater resistors needed replacing. Replacements were obtained but were the wrong physical size (didn't fit the mounting hole spacing). The correct resistors are 5R, 10W, 1% and the mounting screws are M2 at the diagonally opposed corners of a rectangle 15.9 x 14.3mm (ohmite series 810 footprint [http://www.ohmite.com/catalog/pdf/89_series.pdf pdf]) | **For unknown reasons, the heater resistors needed replacing.
