To replace the resistor with a substitute' use a wire wound ceramic power resistor of between 2 ohms, and 4 ohms. It should handle 50 watts dissipation. This means it looks like a little finger sized cigar with a terminal on each end. A 2 ohm will be brighter than a 4 ohm. If it is not 50 watt, it will glow and self destruct. (assuming three lights draw 8 amps on high, with the resistor in the circuit they should draw about 5-6 amps. Watts = amps times volts, so 6X6=36 watts. 50>36 and it won't burn up. It will get hot, it is supposed to.

Yea,,, but now is when you find out that the good old radio/TV repair parts places aren't around any more. You can get some of this stuff on the net from "I think allied is still going". Look around for electronic supply or such. Radio Shack might have something this big in their special order book at the store. Good gravey Im old enough to remember when the South Jersey area had over TEN places you could go to!!! Jeffcat
