Resistors

How often should these be replaced in Wilson Sophia 1s? Purchased these in March ‘19 and did not inquire into whether they had ever been swapped out. Is there a great benefit to this?

Thanks for following up...good info. Interesting that the Puppy access door came right off, but the WATT door is being stubborn.

You are mistaken - it's actually not that unusual. ARC, for example, often uses resistors as fuses on its power amps and also on the 6550 in the PS of its preamps.
