[Tigers] Ballast resistor

[Tim Webster]

Ross,

I had a good hunt on the NAPA site but came up empty. Perhaps you could send 
a link to the part itself? I don't see a way to search part #'s on their 
site.

Ron was right about NPD. They have one that looks identical to the one that 
went on Ebay last night for north of $75.00. It is listed as part # 
T-12250-1A with a price of $21.95 which is a bit more in line with the old 
budget.

I too noted the horn ring getting bid way up. Nice to get all the springs 
and contact ring etc, but still a very high price. I would have thought 
maybe $150.00 but I was wrong.

I shall buy a gross of resistors and retire gracefully on the eBay proceeds. 
I will send Ron royalties for the tip.

Regards,

Tim
