Re: mcintosh mc60 power resistor

24.218.120.21

The early Mc60's used a 40 ohm/10 watt resistor between the first and second cap sections. The later revision replaced this with a choke M-174 rated at .116A/37.5 ohm/1.84 Hy. Suggested replacements include Stancor C-2974, Thordarson 26C43 or Triad C-17X. I'd suggest you go the Choke route if you're doing a rebuild. I'm sure you can cross one of these to a Hammond part.

There is also a second 10K/10 watt resistor used to feed pin 4 on the input octal socket off of the second section of the cap. Unless you are using the octal socket to power a C4/8 preamp it isn't an active part of the circut.

If you need a schematic SAM's has it in Set 344/Folder 10, or contact me privately.
