Yeah, I'm tired of questions on reading color codes, but I'm going to post this anyway.
I have five 3-dot mica condensers. After a day of studying, researching, fasting, and meditating; I can't figure out why the color dots don't correlate with the values on the schematic and the parts list. I took out a couple of the condensers, put them on the multimeter, and got the same values as the schematic.
Here are four of the condensers with the values from the schematic:
(HINT: If you apply the "1st digit - 2nd digit - multiplier" rule, then one of these caps is 61 billion picofarads.)
If there's a simple answer to this I'm going to feel really stupid, but that would just be status quo for me. So, guys, what am I missing?
Thanks.
