there is a 36 Ohm 1/4 watt resistor ( orng blu blk gold )
between (inline with) the 32V supply volts to a Vcc2 pin on an
IC, what is reason to use this setup and could it be another
mistake made by previous repairer ?

It creates an RC low-pass filter to smooth out the power even more
than just a capacitor can do. I do something similar on chips that
are especially sensitive to supply ripple.
