Hi all,
I'm trying to stabilize a 41-285. Its a 65W radio meant to operate at 115V. My house AC is 122.
Opinons from experts on whether I should let this slide, or insert a bucking transformer or finned resistor?
I was thinking resistor; would a 10 ohm 10W finned do it? I did some rough calculations and I may have done it wrong; I came up with pretty much that rating.
Also, where would I put it along the hot line? I have already fused the hot AC line prior to the line filter caps. Thanks!
Ted
