[NJARC] Resistors and Radio Shack

[John Ruccolo]

Before we leave this subject, I wanted to mention that while I was buying those 10-ohm (not 12-ohm) resistors for my pal Marty, I also picked up a couple more 8-ohm, 20-watt non-inductive resistors. These are very useful as "dummy loads" for audio work. You might want to see if your local Radio Shack still has them. Only $2.49 each, and well worth it -- you can drive the heck out of an audio amp while testing or troubleshooting, without damaging your ears by using a speaker.
