So After the Tv tested fine.(Just 10 volts or so over)
I went to a junker. And pulled another 1 ohm resistor out of an oldsmobile or something.
Hooked it up and things worked of coarse.
But the fusible resistor installed originally in the TV is still getting rather hot. To hot to touch after 5 minutes or so, also the resistors I put in get warm. And they are LARGE.
Is this more or less normal? Are the tubes in the TV supposed to be drawing this kind of current? It has 20 tubes in total including the pix tube.
Oh and when I was searching for this resistor I found two other ones that were complete garbage, They looked okay. But after a couple taps to get the dirt out. The "filler" of the resistor came out to.. leaving bare wire that would definatley overload/overheat with real current. It made me laugh, but I also had to keep looking for another one.
