[time-nuts] Off-Topic Question -- German Composition Resistors

[Adrian]

Hi Bruce,
no. Same color code here.
However, certain carbon composition resistors from the 60's/70's are 
notoriously unreliable. The common effect is drift to significantly 
higher values. Besides that, they can get pretty noisy.
