Yep - me too seen one resistor seen them all !

When she was younger that's how my daughter help me build my rigs -
"Honey now find me the red-blue-green- gold one"  She felt useful (and
she was) and I enjoyed her company.  Now she's grown and gone so I use a
multi-meter.  When I built my K2 she was in college and when she came
home on break I asked her to label the inductors and we had fun reminiscing.

Tnx fer reminding me of that.
