[Johnson] Ranger Resistor Needed

[Don Ehrlich]

You don't really have to replace that resistor if you are willing to do a 
simple modification.  I don't have the details at hand but the overall 
effect is to considerably reduce the power dissipation in the Ranger while 
eliminating the 30K resistor.  I made that change to my Ranger a year ago 
based on information I found on the web.  I'll look it up if you want me to 
but you can probably get the info faster  via Google "Johnson Ranger 
modification".
