[Hallicrafters] New resistors

[Jim Brannigan]

I bought a selection of Metal Film resistors from Mouser.  Unbeknownst to me 
they use a  color coding scheme different from standard carbon resistors!!

I decided to leave them in the case and not use them, this should save me 
(or some other technician) endless head scratching at some future 
date........
