[Boatanchors] WANTED: 274 Ohm Resistor

[Brian Clarke]

Hello Randy,

Buy a strip of 10off 270 Ohm, 0.25 W resistors, 10% tolerance. Should cost 
all of 40c total. Measure them all on a good Ohmmeter - you should find at 
least one that is close to 274 Ohm. After all, 274 is only 1.5% away from 
270. (Statistically, you have better than 30% likelihood of finding at least 
one that is close to 274 Ohm)

More seriously, I would question why you can't just use a 270 Ohm resistor 
anyway.
