Again, I opened my Mono/Poly last night.
The resistor (not resister ;-) I can see is attached on the top of the
ceramic chip with orange paint.  It is quite larger than other
resistors.  I guess the wattage is 1/2W or 1W.

Anyway, are there schematics of Mono/Poly on the net?
Actually, my Mono/Poly's digital part is out of order.
I'd like to try to fix it in the near future.
