First let me say I have a very basic knowledge of what goes on under the hood of a tube amp (enough not to get zapped )and I can solder. Recently my 1991 mark 3 blue stripe started acting up , noises , pops , and a fairly constant hum , suspecting a bad tube I tapped on the tubes with a chopstick , while tapping the el-34 farthest to the right I got a loud pop and one of the 6L6's flashed and smoke came out from the chassis . I immediately cut the power and opened her up to check the damage . the only obvious destruction I could find were what look like two burnt resistors . Again my knowledge is basic , am I correct in thinking that they are carbon comp resistors ? If so , what are their values , and could I replace them myself without risking life ,limb, or god forbid , AMP .. . I come seeking knowledge and guidance .
