A quick way to check the value of the resistors is to use an ohm meter, ANY ohmmeter, and run down the line on the tape strip when you first inventory the kit and BEFORE you remove any resistors...It is quick and eliminates the need to fumble with each individual resistor as you go through assembly...The reading obtained should match the colors...The little spring loaded gripper hook tips on the ohmmeter leads are handy for this...
A high school physics teacher pointed out to me, back in the dark ages, that the color code down the middle, from 2 to 7, matches the color spectrum as noted in the rainbow or a prismatic projection...It helped a little to remember that...
