Default Re: Gerrard to bsr

Hi Dorian, the BSR motor has the 2, white wires linked and brown and blue go to the supply. With supply only connected the deck should work (some of these decks use a switch in the white wires to stop the deck).

These white wires will be at 120v. the typical 3 wire motor would output about 85 to 90 volts for the valve heaters.
If you find out what valves are fitted and the heater current they take it is easy to calculate the additional resistance needed(which will get warm(.
One I did as few weeks ago needed a 250R 5W resistor, yours may be different.
