Looks like that would have been my fate as well, had I decided not to email TAD and be too smart for my own good about it. They've answered my email, and apparently the pictures on their website have been taken a long time ago when they were shipping the kits with a different output transformer.

In my case, red goes to the power tube plate and blue to B+.Originally Posted by tunghaichuan
Went out hunting for a metal oxide 470 Ohm resistor today, the local shops did not carry any 2W ones, but I've managed to find a 3W 470 Ohm metal oxide resistor. I guess that should do fine.
