Dummy Resistor Load Resistors

I like the Dale resistors for the higher wattages and Mills for lower wattage (<12 watt). When I measure the Dale 25 versus 50 watt versions of the same value, I find that the higher wattage pieces have a lower inductance.

I also find that they are just as low and the higher wattages are even lower than the Mills.

Dummies are easier to control.

I s'pose. You wouldn't want them to start a resistance movement.

Rise up against your electro-motive oppressors and pass current NO MORE!!

Oh, did I fail to mention that the Dale resistors come in 1% tolerance and these are always right on the money. They also offer far more high wattage values than any other name brand. And, they cost next to nothing on eBay. I see cards of five resistors for ~$10-15 plus shipping.
