Small clock repair - cap and resistor values 200

Hi Josh,

If the colors are as you see them, indeed it is 120 ohms. You may be surprised to see the new one go up in smoke if replacing the caps doesn't correct the short that caused the old resistor to burn. Test it before buttoning it up.

I've always used 100 microfarad caps to replace them. There's no benefit to oversizing them on purpose, but I suppose there would not be any harm in using a pair of 220's if that's what you have on hand. The voltage rating only needs to be equal to or greater than 16V.

If you're doing a lot of the clocks, you might find you get very good at just uncrimping the bezel. It is always behind the plastic, so even if you do wrinkle it some it won't show. I am imagining Cool Hand Luke in there with the pipe cutter.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
