I've picked up one of these for very cheap it does work weirdly but I thought I'd remove the covers and blow out the dust. On opening I have one burnt power resistor reading open circuit. 18 ohm 6w is the spec
Given it works i'm going to replace the blown resistor and the other 3 that are reading good but for 5 quid for 5 I may as well replace them all.
So my question is why do these blow? Is it likely replacing them will solve the issue or should I be checking something else to avoid the new ones exploding?
Thank
