So I'm trying to fix Star Wars and find that 2x 5A slow blow fuses are spent on the amplifone deflection board. I hope for the best that maybe I had a power surge or something and get some replacements. I put the fuses in and power her back on... immediately the resistor I have the arrow pointed at in the picture glows bright and catches fire.

Now I'm debating if I can try to fix this myself or should I send it off to someone who knows better. I can't help but think this is a symptom of a bigger problem.

One or more transistors (and/or diodes) are probably shorted. You'll need to go through and check all of them.

I repair them, if you want to send it in for an overhaul.
