I picked up a really nice looking Space Duel last week that is having some monitor problems. The game is currently playing blind, and the person I bought it from said one of the resistors went when he was playing it the night before I picked it up. I should note that he is a bit of a flipper and had just picked it up a few days prior, allegedly working. Upon inspection I can see that R100 is burned on the WG6100. The game currently plays and you can see three colored dots (red, green, blue) in the center of the screen- not on top of each other but more in a small, triangular pattern.
If I replace the resistor in R100 should I be good or is this a result of a deeper problem? This is my first time digging into a vector, so any advice is much appreciated!
The next question is, what type of resistor do I need to get? I went to Radio Shack for something else and noticed that they had a bunch, but they all seemed to be in volts. When I look up R100 in the manual it says it is "15 Ohm +/- 5% 1/2 W Resistor". Should I then be looking for a 15Ohm resistor? Again, thanks a lot- I really want to get this one going!
