What is this component? Vintage TS9

[Tonefree]

I have this ‘82 TS9 and a fellow forum member noticed the transistor/resistor that isn’t stock. Any Ideas as to if this was a mod or a replacement, repair? Thanks for any help. @analogmike

Cheers, Tonefree

It's a resistor that will never, ever burn out in that.

100 ohm 2 watt resistor.....not modded beyond that as far as I can tell nothing else on board tampered with.
The great news is that it will never burn out in that circuit lol
google TS9 DIY mods.

Thanks guys..l and this one? Stock?

That 1/2 watt 1k (ahem... 10k) resistor is probably also not original

edit: Yeah, that one

Wheres the orange sprague?

Looks like it was modified to TS808 specs. The larger one is 100 ohm and other is 10k ohm.

Oops... could sworn that was red...

yes looks like an 808 mod using Big Ass Resistors.

Thanks everyone, the things you learn. Enjoy the weekend!

And to think someone probably paid $50 to have a tech do that mod!
