battery charger resistor burns

No circuit breakers or fuses blow? It sounds like a current regulation problem to me.....start troubleshooting there......at the charger board. Make sure the wiring is coorect and that the wires are actually good going to and from the batteries. Did the battery lead wires get hot also?

e have resolved the burnt resistor and have calibrated the charger voltage, it was a bad cap, we have removed and tested other caps and replaced 2 others.we have progressed to the point hwere we can geta single snalshot but only when we place pressure on the current calibration pot. today we are
removing the pot and replacing it. I am unsure that is the problem so i am
asking you 2 question, since we now know that there was a repair done on this unit , a very bad one becuase it was deemed unrepairable at the facility that donated it to this hospital and they had to buy a new one.we found connector pins that were removed from the head and other sabatoge that would make this unit appear broken Although our steps are very small becuase I am just a regular repair tech with no expertice in radiology devices so
it is alot of the seat of the pants work.We would like to verify the size of the pot (R10) on the the currect calibration ckt and is there anything else we should be looking at
thanks again for all you help.
Sincerely Yours
