[sdiy] Re: Stocking the House...

[harry bissell]

I like 10 ohms, 100 ohms, 1K, 10K, 100K, 1M and (if you can 10M as a 
backbone...

Then I like resistors with good ratios...

like 2:1  (20 ohms, 200 ohms ....)

15 and 75  (ohms, K etc) gives a nice 5:1 ratio

I also use 24.9 249, 24.9. 249K etc and the 4.99, 49.9 ....

and something in the 33... range and the 68... range works good.

With these values, I can usually make any other size I'm desparate for...

(in other words, I use whatever I can get, especially cheap...)
