Clark TK60 Help
Hello, recently i have had a resistor burn out on my Clark Tk60 marked in red in my attached image.
my tank still functions fine. the only thing affected was turret horizontal movement "doesn't rotate" the horizontal motor still works too.
i am needing help identifying what replacement resistor i need to purchase & where i can purchase it in the UK,
markings brown/brown/gold/gold?
any help will be appreciated thanks.

Re: Clark TK60 Help
If the colors are correct, it is a 1.1 Ohms 5%.
But I suspect that replacing a resistor wont fix the issue. Probably one of those mosfets is toasted by now. You can replace them though.

Usually the resistors pop before the FETs, especially on the large form boards I've repaired a fewRad_Schuhart wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2024 6:31 am If the colors are correct, it is a 1.1 Ohms 5%.

Re: Clark TK60 Help
aye they seem fine, i tested with a multi meter with a tutorial online.
gonna have a search now for the 1.1 Ohms 5% resistor
thanks

Hello, here is an easy solution to know the value of a resistor,

Re: Clark TK60 Help
does anyone know what the wattage is for the 1.1 Ohms 5% resistor on the tk60? just wanting to make sure i order the correct one cheers

Re: Clark TK60 Help
I would say 1/2 watts diameter 2.5 mm Length 6.5 mm
1 watt diameter 3.2 mm Length 12 mm, approximate dimensions according to the manufacturer? but in doubt? 1 watt would be more favorable, it's only a question of dissipation, so who can do more? can the least
as "Rad" says, not sure if there is only resistance? Let's see....

Re: Clark TK60 Help
The wattage is important if the resistor doubles as a fuse. Dimensions do vary slightly between manufacturers.
