Default Speaker - terminal connected to the AC line?


"William R. Walsh"

I have a Technics SA-929 stereo receiver that is in good working order.
However, when I was inside it replacing a burnt out light bulb and
repairing
the protection relay, I noticed that there is a wire coming from the
printboard that holds both the AC power input and accessory outlet
connections going to the "speaker -" connector for the "B" speaker
terminals.

There is a resistor inline with the wire coming from the AC wiring board.


** Resistors have values - did you not check it ??


I've never noticed anything like this in a stereo receiver before.



** Certainly unusual.


What would this do?



** Tell us the value of the resistor.

Betcha it is about 10 Mohms.
