RE: Blowing MMC bleed resistors...

["Ted Rosenberg" <Ted.Rosenberg-at-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-xxxxxxxxxx>)]

Garry, Terry:
yes, I used 10Mohm, 1/2W carbon resistors in my MMC. You can see them in the
photo at http://www.flash-dot-net/~ford29/tesla/mmc01.jpg

But while RadioShack items, they did not come from the catalog. Instead I
ordered them on line using radioshack-dot-com. Once there, find the value/watts
and type in the quantity (100 in my case) and the dumb high price per piece
drops to 1 cent each.

Hope that helps.

Hi Garry,

	They need to be 10,000,000 ohms instead of 10,000.  I think Ted uses
Radio
Shack resitors in his MMC but I didn't see the 10Meg ones in thier catalog.
 If the resitors are a problem, I can always order a bunch for people.
They are esay to send and cheap...

Cheers,

	Terry
