I don't think this is what I had -- these are the typical glass
cylinder type. The fuse in the negative line reads as a short, as
expected.<br>

<div> <font face="Verdana">Almost a year and a half ago my
TS-2000 developed a problem with intermittent shutdown
that eventually graduated to brick status. After MUCH
troubleshooting the root cause was a power line fuse that
had transformed into a 1.2k resistor. I thought at the
time that this was so weird it had to be a one-off.<br>
<br>
Well... now it's a two-off. My IC-756 did the exact same
thing this morning after some heavy FT8 use and sure
enough, another fuse->resistor transformation. Just to
be clear, they don't show as open, nor short. They read
~1k ohm.<br>
<br>
Is this a known/common occurrence or do I live in some
weird hole in the universe where these things happen?<br>
