Clark TK60 Help

Post by Tankinstein »

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.

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 few

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

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 :thumbup:
as "Rad" says, not sure if there is only resistance? Let's see....

The wattage is important if the resistor doubles as a fuse. Dimensions do vary slightly between manufacturers.

Bonjour, do you get paid? Isn't it electronic, in your country? Depanneur, sinon on the Internet to develop a revenue, with a volume of 10 units, as many as three cents of the time.
