Hi,


anyone know a source for those dual 5 watt white ceramic Emitter
Resistor
packs you find in EV P3000,s Dynacord Powermates etc?

They are the thin rectangular ones with 3 legs. I need some for a
Powermate which are 0.22 ohms. I usually get the 0.33 and 0.47 EV
versions
from Shuttlesound, but Dynacord seem to use 0.22, which I can only get
from
Beyer Dynamic at rather extortionate cost, (£15 a pair all in) and they
are
out of stock anyway.

I can't bodge anything else into the Powermate as they have to sit
between
the heatsink and the metal housing for the fan and airguides - the
typical
10mm square 5 Watt ceramics will not fit. Bummer.

I have found a couple of single versions of these in my components boxes
of the same width
(5mm) and half the length which I believe I got from Yamaha. So a source
of
these would be a possible alternative.




Cheers,




Gareth.



Gareth,

I know you asked for a UK vendor, but MCM Electronics
(www.mcmelectronics.com) in the USA has them as part number 28-0540 for
$2.09 each. While shipping might be expensive, it might be worth it if
you need a half dozen or so.

Regards,

It would be relatively easy to have someone in the US buy these for US
delivery, and reship in a USPS Small Flat Rate box tothe UK. Shipping
costs would be relatively small, assuming you got enough resistors.

Thanks.

I'm waiting for an email from MCM on actual shipping costs.

If anyone in the UK wants any of these, email me with quantities, I may
order a batch of 50 to get the lower price point and spread the cost amongst
ourselves if there is enough demand.



Cheers,



Gareth.


I could possibly be talked into reshipping them if you wanted...
