Resistors identification
What is the wattage, manufacturer, series, date. They measure 8mm long X <3mm Dia. They are 5% & 10% and measure well within tolerance.

Re: Resistors identification
They remind me of the ones made by the Yugoslav "Iskra" company back in the 80s and sold extensively throughout the West in that timescale.
Test the leadouts with a magnet - I bet you'll find they are magnetic! |

Re: Resistors identification
Indeed, Iskra carbon film 0.25W. The 0.5W types are also larger than the equivalent UK
types. They seem to be reliable. |

Re: Resistors identification
Iskra resistors were used extensively by the audio industry in the 80's. Quad is one example.
And yes - I agree that they are reliable. Craig |

Re: Resistors identification
All the Iskra resistors I bought, thousands of them, all had a beige background. Philips often used pale green as background. Of course makers sometimes changed colours with different specifications.

Re: Resistors identification
That is also my experience of Iskra carbon film resistors - beige, rather than pale green.
