Re: Elizabethan LZ-29
I'd bank on the 200VAC range readings being correct, in which case the power being dissipated is less than a watt, which is low for a wirewound resistor of that size.
If the 750VAC range readings are correct then the power being dissipated is nearly 100 watts which looks impossible.
I'd leave it running for a while and only get worried if the paint starts burning off the resistors.
