Of course, they would burn out right where the wire got the hottest ... where the resistance of the bulbs and the resistance of the pot were the same. THis was almost always 10% or so from the high side contact of the pot. Jim wrote in message ... . Wirewound pots aren't common in the resistances used here and they cost too much. Dan I bought correct ones from aircraft salvage yards for $50 -$70 each. I sure would have like to know the part number for a replacement. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP Sold KSWI |

If anybody has an old one laying around, burned out or not, and you can tell
me the airframe it came out of and send it to me, I'll cross it to the correct Ohmite part with a Mouser part number. Ji9m "Ross" wrote in message ...

Never ever forget that every part on the airplane was supplied by the lowest
bidder. (paraphrase from John Glenn) Jim "Ross" wrote in message ... My Cessna use a wire wound pot that kept burning out. I took one apart and was it cheaply made. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP Sold KSWI |
