resistors

how often does one come across a bad resistor.one that does not allow any current thru.

Not very often, but I was working on a tube amp last night and that's what the problem turned out to be.

I'd say often enough that it's a possibility to consider while troubleshooting. :-)

Really, though, in my experience with troubleshooting circuits, it's so often more a problem with bad connections than bad components (provided you stay away from Philmore pots).
