This is bad. You want to have this pot adjusted to the center when testing
your HV. WinTron should replace your HVT - how long ago did you buy it? They
are usually pretty good about taking care of their customers.

R6 used with a Wintron? I understand increasing the resistance also allows

to increase the KV. The resistor is currently 3.9k.<<

A 2 or 2.2k resistor should do; however you might want to go to a 1 watt
resistor.
