Pentranic 1432 chassis resistor HOT HOT HOT
« on: January 26, 2010, 06:04:40 pm »
i just repaired this chassis, having a smaller 1 watt 4.3 ohm (the tube size difference resistor) that read in the 10k range. it's obvious it got real hot, so i replaced it and a fried vertical ic driver chip.

there is a pair of larger resistors connected to this chip and goes off and feeds some other stuff...

r322 (5 watt 2.7k ohm) and r331 (5 watt 6.8k ohm)

though the chassis is currently working, my nose and my infrared thermometer say these resistors are HOT...one in the 130 degree Celsius range 130 ºC = 266 ºF

both of these resistors test within a few hundred ohms of their rated value 6.8k=7.03k (coincidently the hotter one) AND 2.7k =2.701k (this one only about 90 ºC / 194 ºF range)

now, how hot is too hot for these, should i just go ahead and change them? and should i maybe bump them up to a 10w cement? anybody have 2 cents?
