Title: Fender PT100 resistor
Post by: campbellm on March 26, 2008, 02:34:51 AM
Hey there, I'm brand new to this site so I apologise if this is in completely the wrong place! I have managed to cook the resistor in my Fender PT100 Pedal Tuner. I have been told they are a 'non-servicable' item so have had no help from Fender... Is anyone able to tell me what the value of the resistor is? It will just mean a $2 fix up compared to a $120 replacement (NZD).  Thanks!

Is it the silver odd shaped thing with blue and red LED's?
if so someone gave me one and I can check it out at rehearsal tomorrow..that's where it is.

Okay, there's a 1/4 watt 470k ohm resistor at the input on the main board is that the one that's "cooked"?
all the others are surface mount resistors.

thanks, the resistor i'm talking about is on the input side, on my circuit board it is labelled as 'R21'. It is (or was) a small light brown colour. The printed title on the circuit board reads PWR041010A.

Thanks alot

That's it, yellow-violet-yellow 470K with a gold tolerance band.
