Pete, Your eyes are playing tricks on you - gold-gold-red does not make any sense for either a resistor or an inductor. Gold is only used as a multiplier band (0.1) or a tolerance band (5%).
Have someone with good color vision (usually female) take a look at it under good light (sunlight is great). Even if she does not know the color code, she can relate the colors seen. Be certain not to confuse the body color with the color bands. Sometimes a color band is the same as the body color. The color saturation used to be much better - and that is not just my aging eyes, I have some old components with nice bright color bands to compare. 73, Don W3FPR [email protected] wrote: > Folks, > > I'm going thru the RF-choke envelope, and for L7, I have a gold-gold-red > instead of the manual's yel-vio-gold.
