Can anybody tell me the value of the resistor that feeds the ic on the board? The main 12v input goes through this resistor before it feeds the ic. Any help greatly appreciated, mine is burnt to a crisp and unreadable.

I got the problem fixed just now. I replaced two capacitors and a resistor and tested the signal generator and all is good.

Nice to know you have fixed the problem perhaps you would like to publish the values for future reference. Nev   Dwight E.

I put a 10k resistor in place of the burnt one...(a guess) and yet according to the schematic of the ITT IC it will accept up to 18v input and has it's own built in regulator so I figured the resistor I put in would do just fine since a broad voltage range is acceptable.
