A box of NOS adjustable 15W power resistors.
1984 vintage, look nice...
And that's all they do, unfortunately.
Specced at 1.5Ohm, +-5% they actually read 5.1 Ohm.
Also, the tweaker does not really work - there is no contact most of the time even after cleaning the resistive wire of corrosion.
They seem to all have about the same wrong resistance, so either i understand the labelling wrong (1.5 Ohm resistor. How can it mean 5.1 Ohm? Did they print the digits in the wrong order?), or they have degraded over time.
Well, back to looking for a tweakable 0.41 Ohm sense resistor in the 5W range...
