Clicking Q-switches on SC Deluxe

Well that did cross my mind although I did go to a respectable electronics store and ask them for the resistor rather than try to remember the colour coding system.
 
Quick question.... is the resistor colour coding the same in the UK as in the USA?
 
But I will check it asap as I have a gig next Thursday with it.

Of course the best way is to use an ohm meter...

Well I took the resistor out yesterday evening before rehearsal and the sound is back to normal but with the clicking.  So it must be something to do with the resistor.  
 
Once the main shops are open after Christmas I'll go to another electronic spares place and get another two 1-Meg resistors and put them in.  
 
I don't have an Ohm meter so I'll get the shop them to prior to purchase and get them to check the ones i've just taken out.
 
Cheers

This owner of 1993 MK standard is going to take the rear cover off and look tonight although I cannot recall the audible click when using the switches.
1Meg resistor..ooh massive cost of about 5p(UK currency)approx 2 cents in US money and about a pin prick of resin core solder.
Will have to listen to volume change on the panpot though..can it be measured with a meter on the output jack and if so what are the readings in milliVolts(if any??)
