Hey guys,
As it would turn out, I stumbled upon a 1033 in a junk pile, and decided to fix it. Mostly needed a new power cord and replacement terminal posts, but I decided to open it up to clean it up and check on internal components.
I am indefinitely going to replace the circuit breaker with a modern one and replace the rectifier disk with the diode method, but I wanted to check on the tan wire that in mine looks very dry and brittle (and likely should be replaced in general).
I checked service manuals, and said this is a resistance wire, but I wanted to ensure this was absolutely necessary if I’m going with the updated fixes, and most places online don’t bother with this piece in replacement supplies.
