Even the weedy little CRT model from a TR2. It's just a bit more difficult if you want it to look original. The factory abandoned the push-on terminals and went over to a flying 3-wire cable for two-speed models. This used a different type of end-cap, actually from the Jaguar motors that have 6-wires. But you can stay with push-on terminals and just bring out one extra wire. If you were to convert a TR4 this would be a good way because you would not alter the wiring loom. Just take an extra wire to the correct type of switch. The two problems are finding resistance wire and making soldered joints to it. That's why I started by using 10 Ohm resistors. Wire-wound resistors like that can be bought easily, many sources on eBay and other big suppliers of electronic parts also. To value a 6WA just look at past sales on eBay, I sold a couple last year. How is the resistor wired into the motor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
