Re: PT Cathode resistor rating?
Greg,  
A half watt resistor will work just fine here for 6L6 or EL34 or any tubes smaller than this. If a tube shorts......the resistor will open just like a fuse, but under normal operation you not going to dissipate more than .2watts under even the most severe operating conditions.  
 
PS
