Bias resistor 33-3418
#1

I'm restoring a model 42-1012 and have a 2-section bias resistor #33-3418.... 140 ohms and 10 ohms. Can someone please tell me the respective wattage rating for each section?
#2

I am not sure how valid this is, but if you look at the XXFM tube, it requires -1V bias of the Grid to GND (K).
This bias develops on the 10 Ohm resistor. Which would make it 100 mA current. Which is total return current of the radio, so it is not that improbable.

So, 0.1A square is 0.01 and times 10 is 0.1W. For convenience, 1W will do.
Now, the same current travels through the 140 Ohms, and this sould make it 14 times more power, which would be 1.4W. For this, I would use 5W resistor.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
