[sdiy] From Bernie of Electronotes

[Rick Jansen]

If you do an OCR version _*PLEASE*_ include an *_actual image of the original page too_*.
OCR is far from 100% correct, and especially with engineering stuff like electronics, 
numbers must be correct.
100Ω and 1000 are a bit different, but does OCR know? Especially with old printed pages 
mixups are easy.
