Hi chaps,
I have no such resistive wire on my rmb model. I have checked continuity from the output of mr2, (my bridge rectifier i built) and L17. My reading is zero ohms. So no resistive wires there. I have viewed the photo and i do not have that coiled wire or tag strip on my set. Perhaps the design was changed and it is only on so many sets, not all. I think i am going to go with the plan of, fit the encapsulated bridge rectifier. This means i will remain with 1.6v LT supply. Then fit two 1 ohm resistors in parallel between mr2 and l17 to bring the voltage to 1.4v or there abouts. It maybe i have to fit the resistors after L17 as this is where i measured my 1.6v at a point on R3.
Kind regards.
Dave.
