That's an excellent question Jeff....

I did not even consider that the line cord was resistive but figured that the wire wound resistor (175 ohms) was adjusting the voltage for the input power. I saw on the schematic that the input could be 100 to 135 volts AC or DC with 110 being optimal.

So to answer your question...I did not do anything. Seems to work OK but I have never played it for long periods.

So...help me out guys...is this set supposed to have a resistive cord on it?

There is a "how to" on Nostalgiaair for replacing resistive cords.

Cheers,
Bob
