TWANG Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I put two 6A diodes.. rat shackers.. off the back panel fuse on an orange wire running to the heaters.. heaters were 6.9.. I got nothing. the only other thing I did was swap a 5K 10 cement R for a 5.6K 5W flameproof. and that's fine. no sound no readings at the heaters.. diodes were from gils recommend so I'm sure they are ok. they are in stripe to the outside on each.. so they should be in correctly. fuse is not blown.

TWANG Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 nobody around so I think I'll pull the diodes out.. if it works. they were the problem. if it doesn't work.. then it's elsewhere. ticks me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cGil Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Umm, just to be sure,... Both diodes have to be in parallel on the same wire. And the end strips have to be on opposite ends when you put the two together. They should be those big 6a diodes. Gil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 I told my son A SERIES of events have led me to believe that in a PARALLEL universe, I'm not quite this stupid. to which he replied. you do realize a pun is the lowest form of humor? I had them in series. now it's fine. sewatt back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eracer_Team Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 You can't be "SERIES-ous" can you Twang? Now who's smarter than a fifth grader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cGil Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yep, sounds like we've found another series-ous way to stop that nasty heater dead in its tracks! Gil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
