Im new to electronics and I have an old cassette tape deck that I was getting going but managed to short something and burnt out a fuse resistor.
Now we are dealing with a tape deck thats 30 years old so no one will fix it in my area so im learning to try and fix it myself.
So I checked continuity and found the resistor that has blown I also saw smoke come from it when I killed it so im pretty sure I just need to replace it.
The service manual says its a " fusible resistor 1.5 5% (1/2W) F " located at R736 but when I look at the resistor on the board it seems to be 2.2 not a 1.5 ..... if I'm reading the resistor right?
This is the help I need, is this dead one on the board 2.2 or 1.5 , could it be possible they used 2.2 not a 1.5 as I think its just acting as a fuse. Should I put back what the service manual says or the same as what already in place.
Attached the picture of the resistor thats dead on the board and has no continuity, i ordered online what the service manual says and what I think is the direct replacement for whats still on the board.
So I purchased three resistors types 1.5 and 2.2 (and another 2.2 from a different vendor) also the new ones are so much smaller I guess thats OK things have moved on in 30 years.
So I would like to know have I purchased the right thing. Im just confused as the new ones seems to have arrived with 5 bars.
One I purchased said its a " res 2.2 OHM 5% 1/2W AXIAL " (this is the smaller one in the picture) the other larger ones are generic from ebay.
Thanks for your help, I know this is basic stuff.
