> Having build a number of Elecraft kits, I thought I would try to

> answering machine subsystem resets itself on every ring, so something
> in the power isolation between the ring signal and the rest of the
> hardware would seem to be the problem.

> The Panasonic KX-TS602B phone actually has a number of through-hole
> components on it's boards and is well labelled. Right next to the
> ring input is the component in the image linked below. At first, I
> thought it was a diode, but this feeds in to a set of 4 smaller diodes
> which is probably the AC/DC rectifier for the ring signal. So, this
> is either a capacitor or an inductor, right?

> Next to the holes for this component is a label "SA102" and there is a
> directionality arrow pointing from the orange band to the grey band.
> There is a part with identical markings near the DC power input, and
> it has the label "SA101". My multimeter measures this part as an open
> circuit, regardless of settings (resistor, capacitor, diode in both
> directions), so it might actually be the culprit.

> Can anyone help me identify what this part is, so I can look for a
