[sdiy] Strange little Resistors?

[cyborgzero at comcast.net]

they are prlly mini .4 watt, and they should be fine to use anywhere
you would use normal .4 watt metal film resistors..

They have mini quarters and those typically have a size of a 1/8 watt
resistor, both in carbon comp and metal. They use them on TV chassis
and HF apps alot.
