Rca T6-1 flexible resistor
11/10/2008 6:46:46 AMBill
Hi ,
I am rewiring a rca t6-1 mostly because of the shape it was in . There was a wire going to the grid cap of
the osc & det .Looked rough so I cut it in two places .Then I noticed it was basically a wire wound resistor .And it is listed as a resistor (r19-22ohms) on the print . Can't solder it not copper .had spring like end connectors even on the cap end .It is only an 1-1/2 long or so.It is high resistance for so small a length of wire.Question is.Can I just replace this with a resistor ? Or how can I make a wire like this up using what kind of wire ? Being on the oscillator tube and det I imagine the resistance needs to be there but is it also some sort of inductor (choke)for this circiut? Thanks for any help I am not sure on this one!

Check for previous posts on flexible resistors but I posed a similar question and was advised to simply replace it with a normal resistor of required ohms and watts.

Brian ,That would be a good for me! Like I said ,trying to duplicate this thing would be hard to do . Thanks
