[Amps] 3-500Z heater voltage reduction

[MIKE DURKIN]

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 at 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.....
