yep....they got it...it's the color code for resistors....I worked for radio Shack, so I know.
Here's one that requires some training:
True virgins make dull companions. Hint: It helps if your were in the military and flew jets.
Originally posted by leisurelyslothActually, I used it today to make up a cable for an MKS Throttle valve controller, the cable I used had those colors available and I just went down the color code 1 to 8 ( all I needed in this case). So I threw in this little puzzle. VERY little as it turned out🙂 Glad to see people at least knew what it is.
It means that you're a dinosaur.
Who uses through-hole resistors these days?

I've seen surface-mount inductors that still use the color code.
Bogus edit: Or have they? Now that I say it, I think I may have seen some a while back from Coilcraft with colored dots.... 😕
Originally posted by leisurelyslothJust kidding you btw, sonhouse. Obviously I'm a dino as well for remembering that. When I heard it, it went, "Black Bart raped our young girls but Violet gave willingly." Perhaps it sounds better in the past tense.

EDIT: I wonder if that will get mod'ed.
Originally posted by leisurelyslothYeah, my electronics instructor back at Palomar College told us that one also but said the ravishing thing was less risque....
