While dismantling the heater assembly in my 1990 RRC to replace the blown matrix I found that the lead to one of the tags on the heater speed control resistor had broken. I think it sensible to replace it with a couple of new high power metal body resistors.
I have cleaned the tags and soldered temporary leads onto them so as to provide a good contact to measure the value of the resistors. Without access to a bridge I am relying on my Fluke 77 and have measured them at 0R5 or 0R6 and 1R2 or 1R3.
Does that seem plausible?
Also, is anyone able speculate on the rating of the resistor? It's has a ceramic tubular body approx 18mm in diameter with the two lengths of resistance wire wound round with three tags. As usual it is green.
RS has a fair range of 50W resistors
