taydaelectronics.com (https://www.taydaelectronics.com/) I've purchased a lot of components from them and they're good quality as far as I can tell. I've never had any issues...(famous last words!) Nick Do you know if they have US based shipping? I did some Googling and apparently this is just how most through-hole low wattage resistors are made these days. Amazing how I just never noticed lol. I saw some comments that suggested these 'blue' film resistors might have better leads - they claim #24 gauge leads: ELEGOO 17 Values 1% Resistor Kit Assortment, 0 Ohm-1M Ohm (Pack of 525) RoHS Compliant for Electronic Projects: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific <https://www.amazon.com/Elegoo-Values-Resistor-Assortment-Compliant/dp/B072BL2VX1> For $10 maybe I should order a set and see what they're like - I don't need another 1,000 but one of the two kits could go back. They certainly can't be any worse. Even the 1/2 watt kit I got is hair thin. Failing that I'll start looking for old Radio Shack sets on eBay - at least I know what I'm getting. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
