No need. I have a VNA. Better than x-ray vision.

and everyone has a pair of pliers, or a hammer.

What did the network analyzer say about this particular resistor?
What's the impedance and phase angle between 10MHz and 100MHz?

You didn't use it previously on the caps and transformers.....?

Yes, but in the process of investigating the part, you destroy it.

Why on earth would I need to know that?? The frequency of operation here
as you well know is only 20kHz.

Sorry, was there a cap I needed to know the SRF of? As for the
transformer, what would the VNA have told me that the other metrology
didn't? It was testing under the high working voltage levels I'd have
liked at the time to check for breakdown; no VNA I know of will do that.

I should quit while you're still only slightly behind because you are
beginning to sound like a troll. You know what they say: "when you're in
a hole, stop digging."

Seeing as how everything's perfect now, I can only agree with you.

I just hope the little tykes at the orphings home enjoy their new toy
and appreciate all the hard work and brain power went into its
restoration.

Halleluyah!
