Smoked Resistor
« on: September 09, 2019, 12:42:13 PM »
Hi Dan and Paul,

After I did the resistance checks, which were correct, I plugged in the amp, the 3.32K, 1/2 watt, resistor on points 45 and 47 began to smoke. I double checked my wiring and everything is correct, any ideals what went wrong?

Thank you,

Cary

Also triple check the orientation of the 22uF cap that follows that part.  If it's in backwards, the 3.32K resistor will smoke.  If one end of the 3.32K resistor is connected to an incorrect terminal, it could also smoke.
