Yeah unfortunately, they were all matching until it blew when I applied power last time dang it

What's your recommendation before I apply power back to this baby Elderado ? I am going to zero out my meter tonight and come back with the results, it may be ok this time hopefully

Thank you for that info as I didn't know I could zero it out !

Your correct

However, this is about the measurement I had before on power up and the unit went up in smoke,,,,, so with that being said if the 2290 driver was bad and shorted or the 6.8 ohm resistor on it was faulty would that have taken out the 2 pills on the front board ???? I would of thought if the 6.8...

I put the correct resistors back in the unit and am getting 2 ohms on all bases, subtract the 000.6 and I guess I am there where I need to be

If something was up with the driver pill and or the 6.8 resistor on it would that cause the damage to the 2 pills on the front board probably?

I also got .0006 with probes together so subtract that and it would be 2.7 I guess

I got same reading with 2 different meters, time to buy a Fluke I think, dunno

I had purchased it used, 3 of the Toshiba 2879 tested bad after I removed them. I also believe the 2290 driver was also bad however I didn't remove it at the time due to the pain in the butt it is, now I wish I had from the beginning because maybe that's why it went up in smoke perhaps. I never...

I am going to put the resistors back in the unit like I had it before and test again, I should be subtracting the 000.6 ohm from my readings then or grab my other meter and check again probably

Pics per request and yes my multimeter read up to 000.8 ohm with the prongs together and I know the resistors are not to be doubled up like they are, I am just testing this to see if I could get better readings. It didn't test as bad today as I thought it did before but I bet it will go back...

Yes sir, I will post a pic of the amp later tonight, and yes I need to invest in a fluke but it seems for the most part the cheapo meter I have has been pretty accurate as I just got finished doing the same procedure to a sweet sixteen and had no issues and came up with correct readings ‍♂️...

No, once all the resistors are in circuit the measurement is taken from the input transformer or " transistor bases" to ground and then should come up with a reading of 1.5 ohm or Slightly less. I am kinda confusing some here because I checked my new bias resistors before I installed them and...

I will double check this just because and get back with you however I did try 2 different meters with the same results

The reading from the resistors at 3.3 ohms was taken out of circuit

Hi Xracer13, the newer resistors I got were metal 1%, the blue colored ones, but ended up getting the same reading of 3.3 ohms even with those I believe and tried a different multimeter with the same results, but yeah getting 2 ohms or slightly more on both boards off that input transformer to...

I was just stating when some of those low ohm resistors I had bought like the 2.7 ohm didn't really measure exactly 2.7 when they were out of circuit so I thought that might have been the issue so I bought another batch of them of a different style and still got 3.3 ohm was supposed to be 2.7 so...

I am getting 2 ohm with the resistors in circuit from the bases of the transistors to ground with a multimeter when I should have a reading of 1.3 to 1.5 ohms

Hi all, I am working on a texas star 667v and am having trouble, I am getting 2 ohms from the bases to ground not 1.3 to 1.5. I have replaced all 3 of the half watt resistors though I had issues with them 2.7 coming out and reading at about 3.3 ohms, I even took 5 - 10 ohms and twisted them...
