Hello Gary,
I hope you are doing well, it has been awhile!
I have been reading with interest the threads about CM and CR elements
and the resistance ( you said 1.2 k) as being killer. it is easy to
assume than that the lower the ohm reading the hotter the mic......am
I correct? And can I assume this is the optimum situation for both CR
and CM? As with checking a resister, it has to be out of circuit to
read resistance. If that is true, the element has at least to be
disconnected to get a reading................is that true as well?
BTW....Being a proud owner of one of your first 100 Sonny Jr 1, I can
only say there is a lucky guy still enjoying it in Texas!!
Thanks Again!
Gary Calahan

PS Is Tom Ellis still out there in harp l land??
