42-761EZ Chassis Restoration
#3

Well, the response was...underwhelming. Icon_confused Icon_eh Everyone must be hibernating and staying away from their computers?

Steve, I shall go with your suggestion. I think I'll order an incandescent bulb and an LED, and try both. If neither work, I can always add the dropping resistor and install a lower voltage bulb, I guess.

Meanwhile, almost all of the rotten rubber-covered wire has been replaced, along with most of the capacitors and resistors. I'll have to order some electrolytic caps and a dropping resistor for the filament string. The original section of the 2-section Candohm for the filament string was 28 ohms. That won't drop the voltage quite enough on today's higher line voltage, so the replacement will be 68 ohms which will allow operation on 125+ volts without putting too much voltage on the filament string.
