Hmm. Don't kill the good 45's, I agree with you. Maybe your others are still OK, though, tubes are harder to kill than you think.I think you are on the right track with the cathode R's - they may be overheating. mayeb they deveop a short afetr that happens - I don't know typical failure modes for resistors. Anyway you always want your resistors in a tube device to be rated for more (I say at least double) than you run them at. Cheap insurance against this kind of crap.
Leave it aside and solder in ONE new 1.5K/10W per channel when you get the parts delivery. Then we'll try again. You may have killed these 45's though. I'd advise getting the amp running reliably with a relatively (yeah, I know, that's still not cheap) inexpensive pair of 45's (or 2A3's) first before you put the Cunninghams in.
