Mac IIsi resistor value

Posted by: lowlytech on 2021-02-13 15:33:08 Got a IIsi last week and trying to recap the PS and logic.  Of course there was goo galore in the PS.  One of the resistors between L212 and C212 is completely stripped of its color code.  Will this negatively effect the unit, and if so does anyone know the proper value?

Posted by: jake18125 on 2021-02-14 05:07:44 If the case of the resistor isn't affected, then it should be fine. If you're worried you can test it with a multimeter to make sure it still acts like a resistor.

Posted by: lowlytech on 2021-02-15 03:12:14 Thanks for the reply guys.  I don't think the resistor looks damaged other than the outer coating that is missing.  Never seen a resistor quite like that, but if it will happily work, then it won't bother me to leave it as is.  I haven't attempted to even plug this PS in yet and I don't know a thing about its history other than it has sat in the sweltering hot Texas heat in a garage for the last 25 years, so it may not work regardless.
