RE: Resistor dissipation Question

You might consider using a 5R4 to drop more voltage in the rectifier. Also lowering the input capacitor value bfore the 6H choke will make a difference. Try 4.7 to 10 uF with a motor run cap. One other idea is to use a CL-150 inrush limiter on each leg of the transformer, as this will also drop a few volts.
