Volt Charging Meter Resistor Repair
UPDATE: This repair technique isn't reliable.
Yes I did get to to work, but the repair is not robust.
Now to find a replacement resistor!
Steve
In the course of going through all of my M1009's wiring I found the 330 Ohm resistor across the back of the volt meter was open.
After taking a closer look I found the surface plating that would normally be under the post washer/nuts had worn off due to age.
I decided to carefully scrape away the pink surface masking of the resistor to reveal more of the original surface plating.
I checked those areas with the Ohm meter and "bingo", 330 Ohms.
Using a soldering iron I tinned the exposed areas and soldered in place two (2) small strips of solder wick.
Once I installed everything it looks to be a sound repair.
I will re-post if and when this repair fails.
