That seems to match with my experience with such kits from another 
place... it is still a good deal, but I found it nearly impossible to 
read off some values and resorted to measuring them instead.  Which 
brought out another reason why the are so cheap: most of the kit I have 
would be sort rejects.  They are still in spec (as good as I can 
measure), mind you - but they are all bunched towards on side of the 
spec limit.  This is no problem in most applications, but something to 
be aware of.  Matching of like values across two such kits could be 
quite bad, so you better not mix them.
