RE: "a 1 watt film resistor should do quite well"
Posted by 1973shovel on July 22, 2012 at 12:29:16:
What about those who advocate using a 1/2 watt or even a 1/4 watt resistor? They contend that it would serve as a "fuse" and open if the tube began drawing excessive current. Is there a negative to using a lower wattage, other than the possibility of occasionally replacing a resistor?
