Hello all...

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.

I've never noticed anything like this in a stereo receiver before. As the
previous owner seems to have been very meticulous about packing it up, I
believe the non-polarized power cord set is original to the unit.

What would this do? Is it dangerous?

William

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

** Certainly unusual.

** Tell us the value of the resistor.

Betcha it is about 10 Mohms.

What value?

Where on the AC wiring board? The ground? The neutral? The hot wire?
Where?

You've never looked then...

It's strange. Skip forward 8m:05s on following video.
