Title: 931 Ohm resistor size paranoia
Post by: Thermioniclife on September 19, 2019, 05:02:54 PM

Hello All,
I got my BeePre kit yesterday and will receive my Crack and Speedball next week ,Yeah!
I'm a little paranoid regarding the body size of the 931 Ohm resistor on the filament regulator board.
It looks more like a 1/4w than a 1/2 w. I'm sure I am wrong, as I often am.
Please see the pic and tell me everything is going to be alright. Ok.
Thanks,
Lee

You're good for that Rset2 resistor. It doesn't look like the one in the BeePre manual, but it is 1/2W

That resistor dissipates less than 0.1 watts.

Thanks Doc,
Was worried that the bom called for a 1/2w.
By the way, I knew you were into Seduction, Foreplay, Paramours, and Sex, But now Crack, Speedballs, and Nitrous Oxide at
Bonneville! You sir have a problem, a problem I wish I had!
Best wishes,
Lee
