help, fried a resistor

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.

thank you for the info, i guess there are too many variables and i don't have the knowledge to do it myself. Like anything, changing the broken part is easy, knowing what to change is where the expertise comes in.
I think I'll check with "Parts Connexion", about having it fixed, I just hate being without it for a long period of time.
thanks again

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.

I sent an email to Chris Johnson, at Partsconnexion,(he was the designer of the amp). He replied right away, told me to list the apparant damaged parts, and that he would send me replacements to try.
Then, if it doesn't work, to send it up to him for repair.
Thanks for the replies, and I hope it becomes an easy fix because I hate the thoughts of shipping it out.

I dissagree with the earlier resistor comment, first off lets say a 1/2 watt resistor would not even be close to a 5 watt job, the difference is very clear. now a 1/2 watt and a 1 watt, no problem, even a two watt. A 5 watt would most likely be a huge hunk of concrete(lol) compared to what you have. 5.1 seems to be a precise value, so look for a 1% or at the most 2% value.
