cathode resistor types?

Post by HiGain »

Anybody know what type metal film those resistors are in the cathodes of 024. I've seen them in other Dumble amps as well.


Thanks,

Jake

A lot of them had Mepco resistors. Pretty scare these days.

Thanks, Gary. I looked around a little and found some surplus Mepco/Electra resistors, but nothing in the values we need.


I'd like to find a similar part number. I believe two rock used some metal film resistors that looked similar in their Rubys. Any one know what I'm talking about?

For everything other than the Plates I have been using KOA Speer metal films. They seem to work well and do not have any edginess like the XICON metal films.

Cathode resistors wont matter
Worry about the plates and series resistors
