About twenty years ago a fellow who wrote DIY articles for one of the

people claiming to be qualified in electronics telling him which end of
the resistor is positive..


If I could reverse the resistors in my CD rewinder, I bet it would run
the other way.

Probably be cheaper just to order another CD rewinder from Australia.
Be sure to run in the wrong direction when you get it to New York.
