I have been working on this stupid rheostat baybus forever! Something keeps going wrong, and keeping me from using my computer Today, I was installing 2 new rheostats to control the 2 fans on my rad. Then I turn the thing on to test it, and I hear a pop, and nothing works I think I blew the spst but I do still get a continuity between the two terminals, but no voltage flows through. You guys think its time for me to throw in the towel and buy a premade one? And does anyone know of any that will fit into a 3 and a quarter inch face plate? Or should I keep trying I got some good switches from allied electronics, I am thinking about using one of my spare bays where my floppy took over to make a new one. This is because my old rheostats had a 1/4" shaft, and the ones I have now is 1/8". So anyways, should I continue the pain, or just get a prebuilt?
