NAF amp failure update

Posted by Tubers on August 9, 2012 at 15:33:14:
I opened the amplifier and saw the failure - it's a grey resistor located on the left channel driver PC board. There are two such resistors on the left of the V5 5687 tube position and two on the right of the V6 5687 tube position. The leg of such resistor got loose. Unfortunately, I cannot make a picture.

My question is: would it require a great technical skill to solder the leg back to the PC board? Or the entire board should be removed? Would it require a special thin soldering iron?

Thanks in advance.
