I just recapped my 37-116. Ran it for about 20 minutes, everything sounded great. I heard a little pop under the chassis and said to myself--- " that doesn't sound good". A few seconds later the radio quit and a little smoke appeared from under the chassis. I found that the smoke came from resistor #121 an 18 ohm to ground. Ref.Volume #7-31-32. Any suggestions on where to start looking for what has failed?
Thanks

This is just a beginning and basic answer. Hopefully someone like Chuck will slip in and answer more in depth. The resister itself is a good place to start with replacement, but somehow you have to ask yourself what made it POP. Is there something else in the circuit or is it isolated to just the bad component itself.

Sorry I cannot offer something else more in detail, but that's a good start perhaps.
