In the present case to avoid having to take this present so-called "professional" amp-head apart. Failure due to inadequate soldering due to heatsinking of the resistor leads in the first place. I will deform the protruding leads with a pair of worn out end snips before re-soldering properly. Other occassions where replacing the resistors and obviously solder was affected by long-term heat then abraiding back along the traces and doing long soldering between extended lead length and traces. For vibration induced problems replacing with ceramic bead insulators between the resistor and board rather than just flapping about in mid-air. Any other tips ? particularly maybe tying together somehow particularly off the board, on end, vibrating / flapping resistors or vibration induced failure corrective repair in particular
