[sdiy] Carbon film resistors

[Scott Young]

Hi,

I’m not a pro user, strictly hobbyist, but I’ve used those Multicomp things on loads of builds with no issues.  If accuracy of value is critical I use the more expensive better tolerance things, but if I’ve ever had the reason to measure them they’ve been within tolerance.

Thanks,
Scott.
