I was repairing the wells k7000 in my dedicated trog. It was DOA when I got it. I recapped, replaced the hot and reg. I cleaned up and reflowed some burt looking connections. 1 was at r103.
I stuck it back in and I could hear arcing (sounded like in the tube, but it could have been from the fluyback). Before I shut it down I could see r103 glowing red (large sandbox resistor).
I pulled the chassis out and the fuse was not blown. So I put the chassis on another tube and it looked pretty dead(no arcing). I was going to put another rebuilt wells chassis into the trog, but I thought I would ask a question first.
My question is, if the tube is shorted, could it damage the new chassis? I am going to borrow a rejuvinator this weekend. Can detect shorts and or clear them out?
