Sb-301

[sb200]

Hello all I picked up a SB-301 the other day the receiver was way way down and all I could hear was some AM broadcast on 40 meters.  

 I found that the someone of this had lifted one leg of a 330 ohm 2 watt resistor from lug 4 of the cap.  I need the 100-40-40-40 ufd electrolytic Capacitor for my Sb-301.  The part # is 25-163.  I'm not sure but I think that this resistor was lifted so the unit would light up but not burn out but I'm not sure.  I would like and try to keep it all original it's clean and I'm sure it can be brought back to life.

I re soldered the resistor and it came back to life.  The audio sounded bad like it's being overloaded.  It also had low meter readings as well with stations that I know should be 40 over were S6.  

 I came back into the shack to find the unit off and a smoke smell in the shack.  This is what happens when the wrong fuse is used.  Any Ideas ?

Maybe someone has a part rig they want to part with I may need other parts.  Thanks for the info.
