Update: It worked out ok, board not needed, just replace the resistor and the splitter. ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.

I have one of those boards in now from a service call, I decide to fix the board by cleaning out the burned hole under the 27K resistor and mounting the resistor elsewhere, sending the board back with a new HV splitter. I hope it works out ok. Two reasons I did it this way, 1 tips about the burned resistor being the only problem along with the splitter, and 2 I got stung once when PartsFinder said a board was "eligible for warranty replacement" when it was not! Is there a question here? Not really, just adding to the confusion. ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.

Yeah. My original post was on 8/2 for this one, I should have pasted it, the board was burned pretty bad, and the set is under warranty, so I wasn't about to try and fix it. Finally there is a TCE set that it is eligible for warranty replacement.
