"Green" just grates on my nerves, I hear it so much.
He/she probably gave up after smoking the other resistor. Doesn't explain the two 3 amp slo-blo fuses though. ;-)

Green technology is big now. If I ohm would work, wouldn't 1 million of them
work that much better?
I wonder if the previous repairer misread the resistor, put it in, it didn't fix
the problem, and he gave up?

Hey some of us just like green stripes..... I like to sprinkle a few green
striped resistors in on any repair I do. Makes um pretty.
In addition you get way more fuse for the bigger numbers. I know you cannot
be complaining about getting some free fuse in the same size package.
Well and actually you got a lot of free resistance just thrown in the deal
as well by going from black to green.
Shies you just cannot please some people....

Isn't that the truth. Picked up a non-working SC502 that had 2 - 3 amp
slo-blo fuses in the place of a 0.3 amp slo-blo and a 0.75 amp slo-blo.
Also someone had replaced the R943 1.1 ohm 1 watt transistor on the -20V
rail with a 1 Mohm resistor, which in turn caused R960 to burn up.
Interesting stuff out there.
