The difficult part is remember which way the Black and Brown go in the

Just remember it's a spectrum, so starts at black and ends in white.



Golly after years of staring at resistors I dont need no mnemonics

Neither do I, actually. Just offering advice.

Not just resistors, either, or other components. Mainframe circuit boards
numbered with three plastic dots, etc.

those dipped polyxx capacitors that had IIRC red for 250V and yellow for 400V working.

Life was so colourful, now I need a magnifier just to see the surface mount componets.

We get asked to make circuit boards such as.

Please find the attached files for an antenna we would like to fabricate. The design is simple and the holes do not need to be plated. The board thickness is 0.787mm and I will give it to you by today.
