Realistic STA-225 Two disconnected wires on underside of tuner.

Hello all, I am servicing a Realistic STA-225 and am pretty sure I popped these two connections loose. I replaced two capacitors on the tuner board, and had to move the schmidt trigger board out of the way. I made a rookie mistake and did not take pictures before I started.

Pictures included of the two connections I am not sure of. The yellow wire at the left, and the resistor with the yellow sheath at right. The service manual scan at hi-fi engine is pretty much unreadable.

Found this pic online. See if you can find where yours broke off by comparing to this.

The other wire looks like it was connected in the T401 area. Check against the schematic for that resistor (can't read it's value) going to ground.

Thanks for the responses! Looks like I got it. The schematic shows the long yellow wire ends up at pin 9 of IC301. I do believe I also got the other connection, the resistor, to its rightful place.
 
A trick that I use when wires break is to examine the solder joints on the board. If a wire breaks there will be a wire sticking out of a pad that is not covered by solder and you will see bare copper.
