BALLAST RESISTOR........WHAT GIVES?

Thanks for that. I suggested waaaaay back in post #14 that a 'balance' would better describe the resistor function in an ign cct but got shouted down with nonsense like ship's ballast....
I know you did....
was in full agreemenbt with your statement

but disussions of agregates came back

i was in full agreement.

and yes i'm sure i come over as a smartarse from time to time but hey all i'm trying to do is help.

i also spell badly, don't use the correct punctuation and ramble on and on and on... :) always have,
if i was sitting with you all the words would have passed by in a flash.. and we would be agreeing on most points

:)
