Title: Resistor Question ???
Post by: TIMBO on September 03, 2010, 05:21:40 pm

Hi Guys, Getting stuck into my TOS and loving every minute. Here is the question, i need a 430 ohm resistor the power tube bias.Cant get a 430 ohm resistor so i got 400 and a 30 ohm . When added together i get 470 ohms on my meg. Checking  the 400ohm it megs at around 430ohms.Should i just use the 400 and see what happens. Thanks

It won't make much difference from 400 to 470.Just use it and enjoy.
