The beginning...in the picture you can see a small silver banded resistor on the right side-this is the stock one. And on the left is the much larger gold-banded tantalum resistor. These double sided boards make it a slow and arduous process. It takes a minimum of 20 minutes to pull one resistor out, clean up the pads, check its value compared to the schematic and solder the replacement in...and there are over 50 to do!
