Kenwood 6600 Mysterious Part

I am replacing the caps on the main amp board and clipped one of these small purple parts severing one of the leads.

There is no part number on the board or in the SM. It is indicated by a dashed line only on the board and in the SM. Is it just a jumper to get across some of the traces? If so I can just replace it with a small piece of insulated wire.

It's just a jumper. Don't know why they were insulated on these, on most Kennys they weren't.
 
Thanks for confirming.

Yeah, I have worked on a lot of Kenwoods as well as other receivers and haven't seen this type of jumper before and they say nothing about it in the SM.

Kinda looks like a resistor or diode of some sort so I wanted to be sure. I will rig up a short piece of wire to replace it.
 
You had me there for a second...
Seriously, it's a real thing, They were needed because auto insertion machines couldn't do jumpers.

Edit: Let me clarify. There were probably machines that did only jumpers, but why use two machines if you had one that would do resistors...thus the bodied zero ohm resistor.
