[Boatanchors] Halli SX-111

[rbethman]

Glen,

That is the precise issue I was trying to make clear.

Thank you for clarifying it as a resistance issue!  I thought it was, 
but do NOT have all the high end bench equipment that I had access to a 
couple of decades ago.

I found this particular instance in the SX-101s, and there has been 
discussion of the same in some R-390As.
