Z zekelee New Member Nov 8, 2020 #1 Hi, dug a little here there everywhere. Realized I got a bunch of 5 banded resistors on hand. Questions: 1) Which end do I begin with? 2) It is so tiny it is hard to figure out the black from the blue, Gold from the Orange... There was an old post which is no longer open here.

I'd say they are 100K: Brown black black orange, 100 + 3 zeros. Then the other brown, for 1%.
