Fender Concert

[EstynEstyn]

So, my Concert blew. I've worked out the 2700e 10w Power Stepping resistor has blown. The closest I can find as a replacement is an 2k2 11w, will this do or should I keep looking? Also, what else should I inspect that could have caused this?

Heres the schematic...

Thanks.

It looks like that resistor provides the source for the 12AT7 reverb driver as well as the power amps' driver stage. A 2.2k will do but will increase the voltage to the succeeding stages just a bit. I'd replace V3 and V7, and then monitor the voltage at point C. If its pretty close to normal, then you can put one old tube in at a time, monitoring that voltage, but safest bet would be to just leave the new tubes in in case it's time/temperature related problem.
