[Boatanchors] Power Resistors

[Joe Walden]

>From Joe w5jdy in Okla....   Afternoon to all the members of the various
reflectors...  As Always....  Looking for some Help...   This time I am
working on an old Pre WWII Troubadore AC or Battery powered AM Radio...  For
filament dropping in the AC mode it uses two 1200 ohm 10 watt resistors in
series with an electrolic to ground at the series connection...   The old
ones have cooked-up in value and need replacing.....   I think even 7 or 5
watt resistors would also work as the circuit only uses 6 watts...  I have
tried Antique Electronics and they don't stock 1200 ohmers....  They don't
carry as many different values of power resistors as they used to..
Anyway...
Contact me at w5jdy at cox.net   if you have any help and I will glady send you
some cash...   Joe Re-inventing the wheel in Okla.....
