Ok, so I'm starting to mock up my 5F4 kit I recently got from Mojo (I'll post pictures soon) and either my meter is wrong, or a few resistors are bad, or I'm just going crazy. Just for my own sanity, could someone please confirm the bands for a 1meg 5% resistor.
Thanks

Brown - Black - Green - Gold for your 1m 5%

Thanks for the quick replies and the links. Brown - Black - Green is what I thought. The baggie labelled 1m had Brown - Black - Yellow. I was pretty sure those were 100k, and my meter was showing 100k. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going nuts. Glad I checked and didn't just trust label on the bag.
In the coming days I'll start a new thread with my progress.
