Hi Jeff. The .39 resistor will work cooler than the .47. However, HOT current drain seems to be on the high side (maybe as much as 1.5 amps) If everything runs cool but the resistor, perhaps using a 2 watts unit will be safer. The cause may be a less-than-perfect flyback... best regards Jorge At 11:01 p.m. 10/12/03 -0500, you wrote: >I repaired this set exactly one month ago. >Replaced the FBT with a generic from Acme Sales...(Don't say it).
