Loss of valve preamp due to o/c dropper between HT1 and HT2.
Not the slightest sign of any heating to this 1/3W , 10K resistor . Never
seems right to me 1/3W resistors in valve anode supplies - the 4 ,per
anode, 1/3W 100K and 220K droppers downstream of the HT2 supply also look
perfect . Same body colour as all the other 1/3W and no schematic indication
of being a thermal fuse resistor. So replace with higher wattage or not.?
Replace with a higher wattage and a current fuse, somehow, in case an
overload could have knocked out this R without leaving the slightest trace
of heating on it or the , more likely, higher resistance ones. I intend
milling holes inter-trace, again (previous owner of a Peacemaker 60 grateful
for the cooler running), through the pcb around the o/p bottles. Like all
these Peacemakers, serious overheating of the pcb material etc, and this
dropper is an inch from an output valve. No actual pcb discolour under this
dropper , that stops about 1/2 inch from the bottles so I have difficulty in
assuming its a heating problem. Or milling vent holes and only 1/3w 10R,
metal oxide resistor replacement?
