I found a high resistance trace once, connecting a coil, L702 at board location K15. This is in the 26v supply, but it fixed a B&W problem. Go figure. Here was the post I made: --------insert------------ Greetings. This was actually a PTK169 but the whole lot ought to do. Symptom: No color. Fix: The trace between L4702 and C4705 measured 3K ohms. Installed jumper. This trace is physically located at location I15-H15. Background: U1001p12 calls for about 7V, measured 6v. Moving back to C2802 the +9 supply measured 8v. Moving back to Q4704B 9v run, base was 9 instead of 10v Moving back to the 26v run showed 22v, AC measured 6v Power off set and measure trace...see beginning -----------------end----------- Good luck.

Have soldered all the bad connections I could find, and flexing chassis doesn't affect. It is probably a cap somewhere, but I was hoping to see if someone had a tip on this before I went through testing all of the ones on this set.
