I needed to drop my B+ by about 10-15V, so I put a 35 ohm 10W resistor in series with the center tap to ground. Is there any harm done by doing this?
Thanks!

Resistance on center tap to drop B+ a touch?

No problem.
Guitar amp makers have put standby switches in centre taps for ages. Just make sure if your resistor blows, your chassis or I/O jacks in no way can become live with a person or preamp completing the circuit

Thanks Gregg!
Everything is chassis grounded including the IEC, so it should be safe.
