Thanks Jim. Here's why I ask. The original carbon block resistor was broken at some time in the past, actually about 1/4 of it was attached to one of the outside terminals on the regulator, and a second 1/4 attached to the to the other outside terminal. The center section (about 1/2 of the block) was/is missing. So I removed the anchor screws for the two pieces that were still attached and checked their resistance separately and away from the regulator with a digital ohm meter. Placing the probes at either end of either of the two broken pieces I get a resistance reading of anywhere from 12 to 20 ohms (depending on where I place the meter's probes .... or how close the probes are to each other on the carbon block when I make my reading). I am wondering how that is even possible if a full block is supposed to have a resistance of only 3 ohms.
I hope this makes sense with my description and that you can follow it. Looking forward to your reply ..... off to bed, will read it in the morning.
Thanks for the help with this. I suspect I will reply to your next reply.

Today's Featured Article - Some People Like Red - by Art Willis. I was smitten, as a little boy, by red tractors. I used to play in the coastal sand of my Dad & Mom's home with little red tractors, trucks and cars. I grew up believing that like fire trucks, ALL tractors are supposed to be red! Today, the only way I would drive a John Deere is if someone would paint it RED!
