I'm tempted at a price like that!

I am well-satisfied with the resistor kit I got from them.

That looks kind of cool, are you getting one?

Bill

This week they have a voltage tester for a ridiculously low price and on the bottom of the page, a pack of 4 ceramic capacitors.

I received the resistors in today's post. They said it would take 5-7 days to get here, it took six.

And, if you are in California and you eat them, that can cause cancer or reproductive harm...... ;) :roll: :lol:

I got a few divided parts boxes at Harbor Freight and set them up in those. They have come in handy over various units.

I must have misunderstood his question. Sorry. I knew the brand, but don't know who made them. The reason I considered the kit was that I need several resistors for my project. I may not use all the values, but perhaps someone on the forum can use what is excess to me.

I believe they are Elenco resistors. It looks like they have recently went under. I reckon that is why they were bargainized. I've not had any problems with them either. They're a inexpensive way to develop a parts bin.

No. Motorola Minion Dave got a set and found the resistances "right on". On that recommendation, I decided to try a set.

I just ordered a resistor kit. The shipping cost more than the resistor kit did..... :cry: ;) :roll:

This is still quite the bargain at $16.95 shipped to me...... :D

Does the supplier tell you who made those resistors ?

Every time I'd show my dad some bargains, he'd usually say he couldn't afford to save that much money. :lol:

P.T.Barnum was right. Keep me away from bargains. I just bought a Kill-A-Watt and a little portable alarm clock.

When I purchased my Kill-O-Watt I looked them all over, read the reviews, and then picked the one in Rex's link from AS&S. It works great, and I am not sorry I purchased it.

I have a fake one. I don't remember the name. I got it cheap on Amazon, I think way under $20. I don't know how I got along without one for all those years. The Stereo Theater in full song, less the phono motor, pulls 320 watts.... ;) The Concert Grand about 420....

I bought one 10 years ago. Think it was like $42...

I moved into an apartment and took the 61 Executive with me. My first electric bill was like $189!!!! The company INSISTED it was right and I had to pay it. "And what kind of appliances do you have? OH!!! Those old tube things use A LOT of electricity!" Well, you'd think I was running a laundromat, bakery with electric stove and a disco for that bill...

When I moved out, I got a $150 refund. Turns out I paid all the bills while the unit was empty. They never transferred it to the realtor...

Anyway, the meter showed the console at something like 8 amps or whatever.

That is a real Kill-A-Watt, not a fake. Anybody who works on old electronics should have one. They really come in handy.

Dave and Rex, I appreciate your comments about these resistor kits. I believe I'll get a couple sets and use them in the Imperial project. You guys say the values are accurate, and you can't beat the price anywhere. 5% tolerance should be a lot more specific than 15% tolerance, given on the drawing.

Just got this week's sale Email. they have at least a couple of items of interest, The kill a watt line meter and a furniture marker/crayon set.

They're featuring a decent clamp on ammeter/ multimeter this week.

Here's a nice soldering tool set for someone starting out...
