Thanks for the info. Now all I have to do is find my box of wire wound resistors. I haven't seen them since I moved here 20 years ago. Who knows, there might even be a wire wound rheostat hiding somewhere in my dungeon.
And yes, I remember my guzintas. Larry On Nov 4, 10:04 pm, threeneurons <[email protected]> wrote: > > When you get yours make a simple burn-in jig, using the household > 110VAC and a power resistor.
