Re: Ballast Resistors? Source?
Jim, thanks for setting me straight. I realize I would need to wire two 300 Ohm in series to get 600 Ohms. I can find 300 Ohm 5W 10 percent Axial Ceramic Cement Power Resistors easily enough but have

Re: Ballast Resistors? Source?
In SERIES, parallel will give you half the value. Maybe this was a typo.
Generally speaking the closer the tolerance the better, i.e. 5% is better than 10% but the actual value is what is

Re: Ballast Resistors? Source?
This is not a precision circuit so the extra money spent for a 5% part means little, 10% is good enough.
I think that you mean to parallel two 600 ohm 5 watt resistors to make up a 300 ohm 10 watt

Re: Ballast Resistors? Source?
Checking the math and calculating resistor power ratings using the voltages found in the manual:Power (R43) = (265v - 150v)^2 / 6000 ohms = 2.2 watts, which at 5w is a X2 safety margin.? OKPower

Re: Ballast Resistors? Source?
Thanks for the supply lead. The soldering is messy because I was removing a huge yellow capacitor that is not on the schmatic.
Showing my ignorance; can I create a 600ohm Axial Ceramic Cement Power

Re: Ballast Resistors? Source?
I buy most of my resistors and caps from Dave at https://www.justradios.com/
Less expensive then Digikey and Mouser.
Take some time and tidy up that soldering as well¡¡¡.

Hi Richard, yes the problem is terminology and it is not just because many people are abusing words; it¡¯s because for the last 10 decades there have been people fooling with generators and

Re: Power distribution, was: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
Jim you forgot about Romagnosi [Gian Domenico Romagnosi]
In 1802 was fooling with volta¡¯s pile, and made a needle move [lots of debate] later . 1820 Orstead gets all the credit.
Then what about

Re: Power distribution, was: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
I think you can include a number of others to your list, for instance Steinmetz. I am not sure Sarnoff should be included among inventors and scientists. He was something of a genius business man

Re: Power distribution, was: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?
Don, you now have me confused. I suspect the terminology used may be the cause. DC does not have phase. I am not sure how a three-wire DC system works. Since AC and DC are quite different I don't

Re: Power distribution, was: 2-wire, unpolarized outlet ?

I agree Edison was the big man for DC, and he should not
