Wax on LOPT
How do I remove the remaining wax that is partly covering the resistor that has gone o/c on the LOPT?
I don't want to remove all of the wax from the LOPT just that particular section so I can replace the resistor. What's the best method? And how do I replace it after?

Re: Wax on LOPT
John,
Philips 1200 Hamishboxer I've used a hairdryer, it did work, the heat gun when carefully done did a better job. I've got access to the resistor now, what's left of it. I was uncertain earlier as I didn't want to damage the LOPT.
