Alright then,
To answer the first reply, I do own a multimeter, a Fluke 189.
I have measured them, but since I am trying to troubleshoot a malfunctioning piece of electronics, I would like to know what the expected values of each of the resistors are, so I can measure and figure out if they are out of specification.
So, for the one five banded one, my meter measures its resistance as 3.7 ohms, and if the tolerance on this resistor is 0.5%, then the resistor is out of specification, and I would want to replace. But, a cursory search on several vendor sites indicates that a 3.60 ohm resistor with a tolerance of 0.5% seems to just plain not exist and I am wondering how this can be.
The brown, green, brown banded resistor with gold tolerance band, I calculate to be 150 ohms with a 5% tolerance. My meter measures it to be 146.62 ohms, so I conclude that one is within tolerance specifications.
The brown, black, yellow banded resistor with gold tolerance band, I calculate to be 100 kiloohms with a 5% tolerance. My meter measures it to be 102.1 kiloohms, which would be within 5% tolerance.
So that leaves the last two resistors. The resistor that is banded gold, silver, black, with a brown tolerance band measures to be 0.23 ohms. The resistor that is banded gold, silver, green, with a red tolerance band measures to be 0.37 ohms. But, my issue is that according to the charts that I have read, gold and silver being either the first or second bands seems to be non-sensical, so I don't have a method to calculate what the expected values of either of these resistors should be and thus have no way of verifying that they are within their specifications.
So, really my question boils down to whether or not I am reading the 5 banded resistor correctly, as a 3.60 ohm 0.5% tolerance resistor does not seem to exist? And, secondly, having gold or silver as the first or second band doesn't make sense, so how should I interpret those markings?
I just really need help with those three resistors.
Yours,
Justin
