Recently purchased new 1/4 + 1/2 watt resistor kits as my stock was running low... I bought a few variety packs at Rat Shack ages ago that have lasted decades - the new ones have leads that seem to be literally hair-thin - they bend all over the place in a breadboard and break off on terminal strips if you push them out of the way to get to another component.
I know that everything has gotten 'cheaper' over the years, but this really surprised me. Do I really need to start hunting for 'vintage resistors' on eBay now? Crazy! Sorry - I feel a bit better getting that off my chest. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
