I was looking at some junked boards the otherday and noticed some of
the resistors ( through hole, appeared to be 1/4W) had different
colours for their coatings. They weren't the usual tan or beige
colour. I thought the colours might have something to do with the
tolerance but from reading the marking bands they appeared to be 5%.
Some had a red coating others had a blue (blue = Metal film?) coating.
I've come across the light green/aqua ones before but I assumed it
was just a different manufactuer. I have some blue metal film
resistors but they have 5 marking bands. All the ones on this board
have only 4 marking bands. Anyone know the reason?
Thanks
