[Heathkit] help needed

[Edward B Richards]

Thank you. I received a number of responses suggesting cable TV splitters
which I know are for RF not audio or video. No one answered my question.
Maybe I phrased it wrong. All I want is the value of  the resistors in an
unbalanced, resistive 2-way splitter, mixer, combiner or whatever you
want to call it. Thank you.
