Resistance Checks [resolved]

[Paul Birkeland]

Just out of curiostiy, is it possible that it could have also been a power transformer issue?

No.

Could there be an alternate reason for them shorting when I test the terminal? Also where would you recommend me buy resistors?

Loose parts will move around when you probe a terminal, and that can cause sparks if they are not well connected.  You can e-mail replacementparts(at)bottlehead(dot)com regarding obtaining some new 130 ohm resistors.

I just soldered in the new resistors. Just wanted to check with someone and make sure that nothing looks off.

I don't see anything off, but do be sure that all the striped capacitor ends land on a terminal strip with black wires connecting to it (with the exception of one of the 220uF/250V caps, which will have its striped lead landing where a white wire connects).

If the amp powers up and the fuse doesn't blow, just check the DC voltage at pin 2 on each of the 4 pin sockets.  That tells you what you need to know with a lot less fuss.
