  • Domino Resistor Question

    How do you read the value of the rectangular 'domino-looking' resistors as found in some older amps.
    I know I have seen a chart at one time but can,t seem to locate any info when googling...!
    What type of resistor is adequate modern replacement?
    The one in particular that I am looking at has 6 color dots(3 on a side)

    br wh
    gr red }molded in directional arrow down from wh to gr
    br gr

    Thanks for some help, Rod

      Can you post a pic? That sounds like a molded mica capacitor.

          Follow the arrow... Colors you should know. IIRC, the value is in pF.
