Hey all,
I recently had one of the classic Lionel Hot Box reefers die on me and decided to pick up another today.
I read in another topic that these have the ticking time bomb 6 Ohm resistor and I decided to try and rectify the issue before it became an issue.
I went to my local electronics store and picked up a set of 8 Ohm resistors in the ceramic boxes and broke one free and installed it.
The Hot Box works without issue but the smoke output is insane and Im a little worried I may have put a resistor in that’s just as bad as the original 6 Ohm.
I’ll attach a photo of what I purchased and a video of the Hot Box, I just want to make sure I don’t end up with another blown AC regulator board.
