Resistors
I have a Wurlitzer 2310 and need some help with resistors. I need to
replace a defective resistor in my selector mech (push button assembly). It is a 5 watt 85 ohm resistor. My problem is I can only find an 82 ohm 5 watt resistor. My question is will it be ok to use it, or do I need to find an 85 ohm? My electrical background is very limited and I can't seem to find any help locally. Sam |

You should be fine. Most large wattage resistors have a 5% tolerance, @ 82
ohm your in the ball park. Good luck! Gary "sam" wrote in message om... I have a Wurlitzer 2310 and need some help with resistors.

That will be fine...well within 10% (or +/- 8.5 ohms) that most old
specs called for (look at the schematics for the specs on accuracy of resistance). John :-#)# On 1 Nov 2003 12:40:15 -0800, (sam) wrote: I have a Wurlitzer 2310 and need some help with resistors.
