What SMOKED my R29 on Atari AR-II board? (photo included)
I'm still working on the Battlezone, and while testing all of the caps on the board, I noticed R29 was burnt so I replaced that and two caps with high ESR reading. After putting back into the game and starting up, I smelled smoke.
YEP, the R29 burned up in about 5 seconds... OK what on the AR-II 02 board would cause this? Oh yeah, also R30 is fine and tested OK.

Thank you as always!
