The voltage on the resistor was 16 which is above the 12 which is the suggested destruction point. What would be causing the voltage to be so high?

It is a 15 Ohm resistor and I will check the voltage. The machine was stopping just as the record was put on the turntable and the troubleshooting guide said that this resistor was the trouble. I replaced it and then it put the needle across onto the record. When the record was finished it replaced ...

I got the troubleshooting manual for this machine and I have been going over it. The 10W 15A resistor in the control box looked fried and the wires around it had melted. I replaced it and fixed up the wiring and managed to get a few things moving but the resistor is getting incredibly hot! What woul...

I have recently come across a Rock-Ola 447 that isn't working and I am trying to get it going. It lights up and the turntable bit is rotating but I can't get anything else to move. The record arm is down and I can't move it. I can move the record cage by turning the knob underneath the motor. I can ...
