Thanks Al. I am quite ignorant about such matters. I hope you are right and the replacement of the "resistor" will be all that is needed.
Transistor
A transitor went bad in my preamp. I glowed a bright red and the rectifier tube lit up like fireworks and burned out. I replaced the rectifier tube and that seems to be working fine but one side of my system does not make any sound. The colored bands on the transitor are gone. I sent the preamp back to the manufacturer to replace the transistor.
What would cause this? Can a solid state transistor go bad or is it a power issue? If it is a power issue would a power strip help?
