IDM mod help
Alright guys I have my spare IDM, resistor (thanks Scott!), soldering iron and the cover off. My IDM doesn't look the same as the IDM in this link
IDM Mod
Mine is an IDM 100 which I think is why its different. For those of you who have done this mod here is what my IDM looks like
IDM Mod pictures from friends & fun photos on webshots
Which resistor am I after?

Tim, get .020 solder w/silver Radio Shack carrys it or will have at least something close. If you tin the resister wires first it flows quickly.
Oh, crap you know all this stuff just remember, you grumbled about my use of a BFG. lol
And I am not bored, .......I just don't have anything left to break.....at the moment.

Thanks Scott. So no matter where its at or which IDM you working on its the resistor that says 6042 on it. Nice of them to label it for us! Going to Radio shack in the morning.

HMMMMM. Wonder what kind of voltage I would see it I left out the resistor and just put a piece of wiring in there...... Think it would run for more the 2 seconds....(joking!) lol
