Resistor substitution 20% range?
#2

(03-02-2012, 07:29 PM)lyle Wrote:  Hello,

I plan to replace most of the resistors in my Philco 60, but cannot find exact values. I figure I can choose replacement values 20% above and below the value of the resistors which need to be replaced. I was wondering if it is better to be above or below the replaced resistors ohmic value, or if it even matters?

Thanks,

lyle

If you are into a restoration rather than a repair, just replace all of them with the next available value plus or minus 10% of stated value. That should hold for a few more dacades. All old carbon resistors will test high. Only a a matter of time until it "matters."
