help with an old repair - 40-201 chassis
#10

(07-20-2015, 10:48 PM)DeckApe Wrote:  Welcome!

As someone who has revived a grand total of one radio, I will say that I just replaced all the resistors in mine.  I figured "I'm under the hood anyway" and some of the tighter corners were best dealt with my removing components A, B, C and XX to get to capacitor ZZ9 Plural Z-Alpha; why not just go ahead and renew A, B, C and XX while I'm there.

Makes sense - I subscribe to the "you made it to the gym honey - do the D**n ab cruncher and stop whining"....Guess I can take the same medecine!!!

Ok so next question is all the resistors, caps and wire tidbits are twisted together and soldered as one hunk of love. Do I unsolder the entire mess or snip tight and solder a new mess onto the old mess? 

Also - if I measure resistance directly across the resistor, does it matter where it's located in a circuit? Should I get the resistance between the two point where I measure from??

Thanks -
