There are 8 power tube 100 ohm 5% 3 watt screen resistors. (Part # 43100208) ARC uses the resistors as fuses. The wattage value should never be increased.
The resistors should be adequate to survive a tube failure. Series fuses should be employed as well. When the fuses start blowing you know you have a bad tube. The fuses should be placed so that replacing them isn't a royal pain the rear. This is proper engineering; it prevents frustration with the product and allows the user to understand that tubes fail and are mounted in sockets for a reason.
From a manufacturing point of view, the less you see of the product once it ships out the better. When it returns under warranty, it eats into the bottom line and is 100% avoidable in this case.
Letting the resistor be the fuse isn't (my opinion of course) proper engineering. It requires a trip to the service department to do something that the user should be able to do in the home without tools. It risks damage to the equipment along the way and encourages the user to seek alternatives away from the product. Some users might get frustrated and try to replace the resistors themselves- this can result in all sorts of headaches/liabilities for the manufacturer.
