All: Hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving this week enjoyed it as much
as we did here.
I am now digging further into the Valiant II, and some of the carbon
composition resistors (1/2 watt, 1 watt, and 2 watt) will need to be
replaced. Carbon composition resistors basically aren't available except as
old stock, as I am sure all of you know. I don't really want to use NOS
resistors if I can avoid it, because I don't need more drifting resistors!
I don't want wirewounds except out in the power supply for obvious reasons.
What's a good substitute, particularly for the higher-powered requirements?
I am looking at some Ohmite ceramic composition resistors in Digi-Key, but
I'm not convinced that they are the right choice here. Any comments?
Thanks for your help.
