Okay, can't move forward until I clear this up

One thing to remember, IF you do not heat sink the lead AND if you use a lot of heat to unsolder them, THEN its possible that you may heat damage them causing a drift upward that was not there before you lifted them. So use a heat sink to be on the safe side.

I have a clip on heat sink for the leads. I plan on doing this over the weekend as I'm expecting a batch of resistors to arrive. Figure while I have the chassis removed, I'll check a number of other in and around the drivers.

Oh, and I don't know why I didn't see it before in Sams, but I did the resistance checking for all the transistors. All of them were within 10% of values given with most of them pretty much dead on. I'm attaching what I used incase you're wondering what I'm talking about. I did checked each to ground (same ground point for all).
