Looking for resistors.

Looking for resistors. - 11/02/2004 16:02

Ok so I ordered a few parts to make an air/fuel gauge for my car. Only problem is that they were out of stock on two resistors. Now everywhere I look they want a minimum order of like $10+ and at least $5 for shipping. I would be fine with that if I needed more stuff, but all I need its two resistors that cost pennies.

If anyone has a 2.74k and a 5.76k resistor that they would be willing to send me it would be really appreciated. I could send you a few dollars via paypal for the trouble.

Thanks again,
Greg

Either that or if anyone can tell me a place in miami that I could find them for sale. Radioshack is the only place I know of and they don't carry them.

Try a TV repair shop. There's one by me that is more than willing to sell odd parts like that. They can also often be scavenged from dead electronics.

I don't have any with those values, but you might be able to combine others into an equivalent value. Resistance adds in serial, and adds reciprocally in parallel. See here for examples.

What wattage are you looking for?

The schematics for this thing don't specify.. but probobly 1/4w.
