American Flyer Smoke Unit Replacement Wire
Replacement Wire is the Heating Element in the Smoke Unit.
It Produces Clouds of Smoke.The width of the wick you wrap with the resistance wire is 1/2\"; the width between the two Holes that the wick threads through. The length of the wire you wrap needs to be approximately 6 & 1/2\". This will make the wire Approximately 7\" between the two lead were the power is supplied and will produce 40 Ohms of resistance. Use about 9\" of wick if you are replacing the wick. Put a few drops of Smoke Fluid on the area where the wire is wrapped around. Put Smoke Fluid on the ends of the wick if you are replacing it to make it easier to thread the wick thru the holes. Pull the wick down having it hold the area with the wire so it does not touch the smoke chamber insulator. Ideally there should be space around the wire at least there should be an air space above the wire. The wire does not solder so needs to be wrapped around the lead several times. When you solder the powers wire to these leads the wrapping will be covered with the solder. Once the wick is pulled down you can roll each end so it fits into the Smoke Fluid Reservoir.On the Fiber Top that screws on to the Smoke Unit there are two solder lugs with holes at the base of each solder lug. These holes need to be open, if there is solder closing the holes, remove the solder. These holes are just above the area where the wick is wrapped with the nichrome wire. The wire needs to go up thru the holes, wrapped around the solder lugs and the holes closed with solder. Wire does not need to be wrapped tightly. The wire will go around one solder lug down to the smoke wick and wrap around the wick like a spring about 1/2\" and up thru the other hole and wrap around the solder lug.
