Here is a link I found that might have use to someone. If you are into electronic you probably know this by heart. If not well I hope it might help someone understand resistor color codes. http://www.csgnetwork.com/resistcolcalc.html

My Dad (radio & TV design engineer) taught it all to me years ago. Not my cup of tea though I did learn to solder a good end on a co-axiel transmitter cable...

I learned them with a saying (not really "P.C."), but:Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives WillinglyBlack Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Voilet Gray White0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9Green Blue Orange = 56k Ohms. Gold 4th stripe = 5% tolerance(sorry for the redundancy.)
