Karen,

I'm glad to see the dropping resistor worked out OK for you. It does generate some heat, but usually does not cause a problem as long as you mount it away from any nearby components. My line voltage here is typically 127-128 volts, similar to Ron's. I can not operate any of my antique radios without a dropping resistor or buck/boost transformer, without significant heating (overheating) of the transformers.

BTW, welcome to the forum.

Ed
