40 meter TX alignment for K2

Kristina Wright-3
Greetings to all,
I know this question has been asked on here before, but unfortunately  
I didn't pay attention to what was said, and I can't seem to find it  
in the archives. I was attempting to do the 40 meter alignment but  
when I pressed tune (after setting the power for 2.0 W) it wasn't  
anywhere near 2.0 W, instead, it jumped between 0.4 and 0.2, and  
stayed that way no mater what I did to L1 or L2.
        As per the troubleshooting, I checked R66, R67, R68, and R69 with an  
ohmmeter. R66 was 2.7k like its supposed to be, but R67 was only  
195.5 ohms (instead of 1.5k), R68 was 196 ohms as well (instead of  
266), and R69 was only 60k instead of 100k. I don't know what's with  
that, is it possible that I smoked them? All the color bands are  
correct.
        I looked at T1-T4 and they all have the right number of turns, I  
checked to voltages at Q5-Q8 and got 11V at all of them, and I  
checked R50 with a ohmmeter and it fine. So I'm not sure how to proceed.
Thanks ahead of time for the help!
