Left my amp on overnight and having volume drop issues now.

Went to try new power tubes and each bias probe i have is not registering digital or the probes i use the meter on. Common place thoughts are i blew the screen resistors or cathode resistors.

Need to order them. The screens are hard to tell as they arent crusty fried but the areas where they are soldered are blackened.

Are the areas i have highlighted
In red the correct resistors so i can expedite the process for my tech??

There is a big red thermistor to protect everything in the power section. Maybe look for that?

I know this because I sold a 20th Shiva with KT88s to a guy, and he immediately replaced the KT88s with EL34s.
Then tried to return the amp when it quit making sound.
I floated his tech bill to have the part replaced, to keep my good rep for selling. Then he tried to return it anyway because he didn't like the amp. I'm not GC.
Dude was a class act.
