K2 Inductor identification question

[EMD]

All

I have identified all the inductors from the parts list with the exception of 2.  The first is what I believe to be L5.  L5, I think, is a green bodied inductor that looks like brown brown black.  So I'm wondering if the brown is actually orange due to the printing on a green back ground.

The second one is RFC15 which is a sub miniature solenoidal, what I have looks to be green brown green.  So I'm not sure what to do until I have confirmation that what I have will work.

Ed,

I had the same question, so I asked Elecraft.  You've got the right
part.  Here's my email to them:

"...RF E690007, a 33 uH selenoidal inductor.  The color code should be
orange-orange-black, but it looks like brown-brown-black to me.  "brown"
and "orange" are pretty close together, so I assume it's just the part
maker's idea of what orange should look like.  However, I thought I'd
check with ya'll to make sure it's alright. "

Richard Trebbien's reply:

"...Yes E690007 the orange does look brown but that's the correct part."

Thanks for the info Wayne.  As you know it's a lot easier to put the correct part in the first time.  ;-)

All I can say about putting the correct part in the first time is this:
The Soldapullt is the best tool I own, and not just because it's useful
_in theory_.

FYI: A flaky orange color has always been the trade mark an (anonymous)
Japanese/Chinese  manufacturer. I call it Japanese orange. I have cursed
them many times. 11uH would not be a standard value. (i.e. special order)
