Hi Sean -- I'm accustomed to standard US commercial resistor codes (1st sig, 2nd sig, multiplier, tolerance) and this scheme doesn't fit -- 150 ohms should be BR-G-BR. I do know, however, that it's a 150 ohm resistor, both by spec and by test.

In the regular scheme this would be 22 ohms: R=2, R=2, BL=no zeros (Brown would be one zero). Again, this particular resistor actually measures 22 ohms. However it shows a white band in the fourth place, which I don't recognize -- I know 20%=no band, 10%=silver, 5%=gold. cheers david David Beierl - Providence, RI http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon.htm '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation" |
