Howdy everyone!!! So I’ve got a quick, mostly hypothetical question for you..
This f-ing gem is my Ampeg J12-D, I picked it up a couple weeks ago (In much worse shape than you see here) for $100 from a local guy..
Originally I bought it because it still had its original tubes & I know what the stupid 6KB11 & original 7591’s can sell for, sometimes a hundred bucks a piece!!!
I thought worse case scenario I’d get my money back on those alone, but then I plugged it in after getting it home and clean I plugged it in long story short, I like it & now I wanna keep it!
However as you can see it needs some love!!! I’ve already replaced the cord, Etc., & now I’m about to turn my attention to the filter can & turret board.
Heres my question...
If you look to the right of the board you’ll see a couple 10W resistors. The one further to the right is a 1K, and the one to the left (the one that looks like a leftover roach from a Cheech and Chong movie) is 140 ohms.
Now 140 ohm 10W resistors are not super common theses days but they can be found. Now on hand I have some Ohmite 10W resistors that are almost perfect but unfortunately no 140 ohm’s...
I do have a 1K and I have a 150 ohm resistor. So could I safely get away with using these??? Now again I likely won’t end up doing it unless the general consensus is that it is completely safe, but I was kinda wondering how much difference an extra 10 ohms on this resistor would make....
