A can of compressed air turned upside down will spray a freezing mist also. In field service we used to use a mild heat gun and freeze mist to help isolate intermittent problems.
Although it sounds like you located at least one problem with too much current draw through that resistor.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need.
As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM |
