Radio Daze provides this handy color code chart. Of course this stuff in old text books as well.

Great! I'll see how that works out.

I did start to trace out the wiring and as far as step 1 goes, it looks like it is wiring B-, B+ etc. So I'm starting to fill in my chart. I'll use that chart as a guide and see how that works out especially with the wire lengths provided.

[Crist Rigott]

Here are the wire lengths, in inches, of the wire provided in the kit. All wire is solid 20 awg.

Black - 256
Brown - 60
Red - 240
Orange - 120
Yellow - 36
Green - 53
Blue - 53
White - 54
White/Orange - 18
Fiberglass Sleeving - 13

The fiberglass sleeving fits a 20awg wire.

On behalf of Violet Wire, I demand a recount.

You sound like a former phone company employee. We called it violet, not purple.

Nah, just that the resistor (and wire) color code is based on the color spectrum, it's ROY G BIV, not ROY G BIP

Black, Brown, Gray and White, be gone!

True story - I knew the resistor color code before the 2nd grade.....

NOW BACK TO THE OP's thread....

My mnemonic has all the colors, but might be a bit dirty for the forums...It is third hand from a navy guy IIRC.
