"Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel." - Samuel Johnson, 1775 And, while we are quoting: "On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." - H.L. Mencken "American" Patriotism *requires* a complete reading of the US Constitution from end-to-end, noting those things *not* included (abortion for any reason, marriage, gay or otherwise, flag-burning, American or otherwise, specific religions, Christian or otherwise and a great deal "less". And then a very specific understanding of the 9th and 10th amendments in the Bill of Rights - which codify the singularly most important tenet of English Law (upon which the Constitution is based): What is not forbidden is permitted. Not the answer you expected? So sorry! Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

It's been nearly 40 years since I did any serious work on electronics. But I still remembered the color codes, many of the common resistor sizes, common cap sizes, and the numbers on the most used tubes. I dont think I ever used a resistor below 10 ohms, except the wirewound types, such as the old huge 8 ohm WW ones that I used to use for speaker loads. I think they were rated at 100 watts. I saved a lot of that stuff, but much of it has vanished over the years. |

The really funny thing is you can buy them in 1% and 5% tolerance. I'm betting that none of them are within tolerance though. |
