K2 - K2PAKIT install?

Ross Primrose N4RP
OK, so I lost the finals on my K2 (no output, 90ohms both collectors to
ground, even with the heatsink removed). Ordered the K2PAKIT, came with
the two finals, the 2 2N2222As for the bias circuit, and an unidentified
resistor or choke that I don't know what to do with. No instructions...

Any help appreciated...

Ross,

You have a replacement resistor for R50 included in the K2PAKIT -
sometimes it is open, so it would be wise to check - measure the
resistanc between the emitter of Q6 and ground - if it is other than 1.5
ohms, replace R50.

Thanks Don and everyone else who replied. I'd already figured out it
must be a replacement R50 from looking at the schematics. It's a higher
power unit than the one already in there, so I replaced it w/o even
checking if the one in there was good.
