Arp Omni MK 1 Power Supply Problem

Arp Omni MK 1 Power Supply Problem

2005-04-14 by the0thr1

I just recently bought an Arp Omni Mk 1 and after gutting it out to 
find the problem.  I ended up finding out that i need to fix the power 
supply.  My problem is that i need a 41.1k and a 10k 1% perscion 
resistors.  I can find these anywhere.  I was wondering if it would be 
ok to replace the 41.1k with a 42k %5 and the 10k with a regular 10k %
5. If not, dose ne1 know where i can find these resistors.  Please 
someone help me ive dying to use this ma-bastard. Please help!!! i 
would name my children after you.
Thanks,
Gabriel lecuona

It depends on what the resistors are being used for in the power
supply, you could try them, I don't think you could hurt anything, but
some of the controls may act differently if they reference the voltages.
One thing you could try is buy a package of 42k and 10k resistors (you
should be able to get a package of 100 for a few dollars), then use an
ohm meter and check thier values, chances are you will find a few that
are exactly the value you need.

This is for the Omni powermod is suppose..
I used a 42k and it gave me plenty of room to get to the 13v figure.
cheers,
Eric.
