[Sneap] Current sense resistor, Varian 6004 power supply

[kerna]

Dear Sneap community,

 

This resistor failed today.  It is .0316 ohms.  760watts of power at 155
amps.

 

Does anyone have an old Supply not in use that I could scavenge this part?
This resistor has opened up.  I have not yet tried to fix it.  Has any one
had experience fixing it?  I haven't had a chance to locate a replacement,
as I have just discovered what was wrong with the supply a short time ago.

 

I have left a mess with someone at Varian, but I don't hold much hope they
will be much help with a supply that was built back in the 1660's

 

Thank you.
