My mind sometimes works in strange ways.
Based on what I have seen in the other replies was a ballast resistor "not" part of the original setup when my 54 235 came off the production line. I am upgraded to 12v. Would it possibly have been added when the previous owner upgraded to 12v? Is there a valid reason to add a resistor when upgrading. The previous owner did a lot of questionable work including the 12 v upgrade. I had to fix a lot of what he did.
