I will just continue using the set. It's not super high hour (has 11,450 hours on it as confirmed by the service menu). I may replace that 27ohm/3W resistor with a 27ohm/5W resistor for added safety. At some point, though, I may want to measure the voltage going across that resistor while the set is running.
