-There are some complete replacement kits avaiable on the internet, which include all components that are generally worth upgrading.

 Resistors R78 and R79 of the low voltage part are 5W 470 Ohms, but are exposed to transients up to 4.9W (48V@470Ohms). Upgrading these to higher quality 10W wired resistors is encouraged. Notably, installing the resistors slightly above PCB to increase air flow is recommended.  Resistors R78 and R79 of the low voltage part are 5W 470 Ohms, but are exposed to transients up to 4.9W (48V@470Ohms).
