help, fried a resistor


I was warming up my Sonic Frontiers p-2 the other day, and the resistor under the lv8 tube completely fried.
the value on the board was "5.1 .5%"
will any brand resistor do from a local electronics store?
is there any thing else that could have been damaged?

any advise would be greatly appreciated

Hello
I had the same thing with a vintage HK power amp. First check the tube, my Ktt88 was bad then check the bias. I replaced the resistor with metal oxide 1% and I matched and replaced all of them on four tubes. Later after it was running for a few weeks I replace all caps with poly SCR`s and diodes also. But watch your Bias!! Good luck.

I would call sonic frontiers and ask them about sending it back or for a local authorized repair. I would not trust anybody with that unit!! Myself I would send it back to the people who know the unit best. And from what I here Canadian companys give fantastic service. Good luck and be patient it will be worth it in the long run.
