ive just replaced the on/off/speedchanging control on my turntable. the last switch had a big brown flat thing ( it wasent a resistor i dont think) terminated either end on both the switch terminals. my new switch is now noisy when i switch it on and off , so , was the big brown thing to keep the switch quiet? the big brown thing looked a bit like this [IMG]http://www.maplin.co.uk/images/Full/304i0.jpg[/IMG] exept it was brown
