It reads completely open O.o I was not sure if there was a special way to test such a resistor, but I would figure a resistor is a resistor right? I should get 66 meg give or take. So if that is bad where about do I even get a resistor of that size? I could not find one on mousers.
Next, I don't how I missed this when I looked over everything under the chassis and cleaned up the controls, but the Service/Normal switch is burnt to a crisp O.o and is even missing part of its wafer and 3 of the 4 connection points broke away from the switch. Not sure what would cause that switch to burn up like that.. Anyone have an idea where I could pick up a replacement switch?

Most DMMs don't measure as high as 66M and indicate open on anything 1 ohm above whatever their max range is. Odds are it is still okay. If it is actually bad you can take a few xxM ohm resistors of lower value and make a 66M resistor (resistances in series add)...I did something like that on my 21CT55 about 6 months ago.
