1W is even better than 0.5W if you can fit it in.
Wolcott Audio tube amp.what value resistor is this
I have a pair of Wolcott Audio P-220m Tube amp's this morning when I turned them on I got a puff of smoke from one tube socket. I turned it off replaced tube and turned back on.
The amp and tubes light up but it has an Auto Bias and it wont bias letting the amp to play.
I took the bottom cover off and at the tube socket were the tube failed there is a little tan resistor it is connected to one socket pin and solder to a board.
I can see that it is black not like the others so I guess it blew. it looks like a 5 min repair as there is just the two solder points right there
The resistor has orange, white, black and gold stripes on it Can someone tell me the value of it and how to determine the input voltage going into the resistor so I can determine the wattage.
I cant post a pic here of what it looks like but can email that to anyone who can help.
I tried calling Wolcott but they are only open Tuesdays and Saturday from I believe 12 to 3. That doesn't help me right now
This sucks I was finally getting set up for my first Turn Table which will be hear Friday and now this happens.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
