Zenith with candohm resistor
#9

(11-07-2014, 03:26 PM)Ron Ramirez Wrote:  Icon_thumbup

Let us know how it works out. If it is like my Philco Tropic 42-761EZ which is also an AC/DC set in which I had to replace two Candohms with two new resistors...and increased the value of one to take care of today's higher line voltage...it should work out just fine.

I just called the power co and talked them into setting my transformer down to 119V. CAUTION: I had good reason, it was at 127V and I'm the only one on it.

Have you ever thought about how that extra 8 volts affects your power bill? Let's see - Ohm's Law - - I cant really tell that the florescent bulbs are any dimmer, and I suppose the compressor motor on my fridg is generating a little less torque, but the pop is still cold - - Hum
