Beftus, RS-Components has several 3R rsistors in stock. number 506-4447 for example. In one day delivered.
Succes.

If the French postal service works just as reliably like ours my 3R resistors should arrive soon. Fellow forum member korben69 has been so nice to send me two for free.

I ordered the majority of parts @ www.hifituning24.de and was confident I could find the 3R resistors @ Stuut & Bruin or Radio Twenthe. Well, so such thing. A value of 3R is an American value. In Europe it's either 2R7 or 3R3. That left me without 3R resistors and myself not willing to fork out a ridiculous amount of money on shipping for two resistors costing a few cents each.

BTW RS-Components doesn't appear to have 3 ohm 3 watt resistors...

This has nothing to do with America, Europe or whereever there manufacturer comes from. It's just the question if the resistors are offered in E12 or in E24 value range.

After quick google and quick look http://www.logwell.com/tech/componen...or_values.html seems to be good reading on this topic.

Greetings,

Aha, it's slowly starting to make sense to me!
