Re: Beolit 600 component identity
I was fairly certain that it was a wirewound resistor from it's trade name 'Vitrohm'. As I noticed in post #15, that suggested 'Vitreous Enamel'. IIRC these are flame retardant resistors.

Re: Beolit 600 component identity
Thank you for going to the effort of doing that. Especially as that was a perfectly good resistor.
Now, will the OP do the same with his apparently failed one? His is dark brown, so there's still a slim possibility it might be different. For me, the real question is not so much what it is, but how did it fail low? What's the mechanism - especially in the context of that radio? So until the specific questions I raised in post #19 are answered, we're still in the dark Mark |
