I concur with your findings. Both the parts list in the ESI Automan program and RCA Parts Finder show it to be a 910 ohm resistor, part# 256743 but the schematic does show it as a 15K which is what was in the set. I did not have a 910 ohm surface mount, so I have just temporarily installed a 910 ohm, 1/2 watt flameproof. I will let it run around the clock until at least Monday and let you know how I make out. Please let me know what the Thomson reply is to your request. Also, the other set I have of this same model that was shutting down after warm is still running great after replacing the flyback!
