Best bet is to go to the Plasmacam owners community on their website. I'm sure one of the thousands of owners that share info on that site will help you out in a few minutes. You do have to join to post on that site....you will need your machine serial number to do so. Jim Colt Hypertherm

It is a resistor, but since I have never broken mine....I'm not sure of the resistance. I'm thinking it was 470 ohms...

Hey Barefoot,
Do you mind sharing which resistor you came up with... Just in case at some point I should have an issue with mine!
Thanks,
Carl

Yep. Last time I counted, there were THOUSANDS of contributors on the Owners Community.

Something like is can be repaired with a few items from the hardware store typically. Its pretty much consists of a wire connected to a diode, protected by some electrical shrink tube and a spade connector on the end. Best bet is to either call plasmacams tech line for any specifics. As mentioned previously, plasmacam's owners community could also be helpful.
