Old problem, but thought I'd ask - I did this by accident last summer.
On a previously working WG4600, I did a cap kit and reflowed header pins. I'm no pro, but I've done this many times, but made a major error.
Where the spade connector/wires connect back to the yoke, I mixed a couple up. I am not sure now how I had it plugged in wrong, as I have since corrected it.
When it powered up, R636 smoked and burnt. I quickly turned it off, and realized what happened. I got the wires plugged in right, turned it on again, and nothing.
Did that likely do permanent damage to the yoke or anything? Will replacing that resistor likely fix the chassis?
Thanks in advance........it has a pretty decent tube!
