I've recently bought a few Koford controllers used off eBay but don't know the ohm ratings! One has a bundle of black resister wires, one has brown resistor wires, and the other has blue resistor wires. I imagine the color of the wires determines the resistance.

 

Does any know what colors are what ohm rating?

Yes.

I know for a fact, blue is 3 ohm, because that's what I sell at the raceway, and use for my rental controllers.

It looks like black is 2 ohm and brown is 4 ohm.

If you have an ohmmeter, it's pretty trivial to measure the controller resistance between two of the clips.

Mike,

 

If you don't have an ohmmeter you have a Swiss-meter above and they work much the same LOL.

 

We use the same controllers at Piranha Speedway for our rentals also.
