Ok.. yea i did search some on reducing the voltage at the heaters on google ... 
yikes alot of what in not really looking for.So a quick question .. what is the 
favored way to reduce the voltage ?? i have 12V ac across 2@3-500z's and i want 
to drop it by -- say 1 volt.
Trying to keep to the confines of what i have around .. some 12 and 10Ga solid 
magnet wire, some romex (120v stuff) and some 12ga hookup wire witch i dont 
think the insulation is rated for heat at all ....
Or some other common junk drawer stuff that would do the trick ... the last 
thing i tried was a .27Ohm 10W cement resistor and that was too high of a 
resistance ( was a bit surprised but oh well i dont know the internal 
resistance if the filaments anyways)
KC7NOA ... i think i even have some nichrome sitting round some where.....
