Just change the ones across the B+ line, shouldn't be that many. Ken

Right now it looks like 2 might be the problem marked AVX 103 and AVX 849.
I'm guessing that they're tantalums but not sure. The Wavetake was mfg in
1989. I need help on the values and voltages. There's too many to just
start changing.
tnx

Change all those little tear drop bypass caps connected to the shorted
line.
Won't hurt to replace them all, might save a future short. Ken

Sometime ago I think I recall someone posted or wrote an article on a
neat
way to isolate a shorted component on a pcb using common test eqpt but I
can't recall the methodology. I'm trying to find a shorted component on
a
Wavetek 188-S-1257 signal generator. The B+ line reads about 0.4 ohms
and
I'm not having much luck disconnecting componets. I don't have a
schematic
and my eyes ain't what they used to be for tracing and I want to
minimize
the unsoldering. Does anyone recall the article or have a good way?
tnx
