Hey there esteemed members, seems like I’m on a run with questions lately. I need to replace the 25k section of the dual value 20watt “standee” resistor in this amplifier from a Seeburg V200. My question: is each section 20watts or is it 10watts per section, for a total of 20watts? Reason I ask is that I have, on hand, 2- 5w resistors I can put in series and I’d be done but if I need a 20 watt then I have start hunting one down. Parts list/manual doesn’t help here. Thanks, Mauro
Hi Mauro, Two 5-Ohm 5Watt resistors in series equals 10-ohms @ 5 Watts. The resistance adds in series & divides when parallel, the wattage only adds when parallel. You need a 25K @ 20W resistor. Nothing wrong with going to 25W!
