I searched the archives and found that on the heater blower-to take it from
12v to 6v the resistor is approx 1 ohm, is what all the vendors sell. But
to take 12v down to 6v exactly, the archived message said it was .6 ohm.
But all vendors sell the 50w 1 ohm resistor for this purpose.
Greg will hopefully still give you the value that he used. --wayne
