Not knowing any better I did in fact buy a cheap set from Amazon. I typically purchase most components from reputable resellers like Digikey, but I figured what could they do to small resistors?
>From what I can tell, even kits from places like Jameco and SparkFun are identical to what I received. Everything at Digikey beyond Sparkfun is about $50+ with some running over $300 (!!!) for Vishay sets that aren't offered in wide ohm to Megaohm ranges. At best that means I'd need to order dozen qtys for popular values rather than the grab-bag kits I'm used to, and that seems like a PITA. Any suggestions?

Most professional brands sold by Digikey or Mouser have the usual pins, however cheap unbranded components from hobby places usually sell a cheaper Chinese brand with quite flimsy pins. /Martin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
