Carbon composition resistors aren't something anyone really likes these days. They did have one thing, though, that the blue bodied beasties do not possess .... readable bands. |

This picture could be used for EE torture. I go with light blue Xicon 271 and can't stand the dark blue Yageo MFR-25 brutal hard to read- orange/brown/red look almost the same to me. |

The bastard is 33k2 (second from right) but I just realized the problem is LED lighting has very little red spectrum in it. The colours look much better under halogen lighting- although dark blue body still sucks. |
