    Pot/rheostat wiper position needed.

    The four banders are like reading numbers level easy for me, but those fivers are tricky

      The blue background on metal film resistors makes it really hard for me to read them. I wish they would have stuck with tan and found another way to indicate the type.

        Yeah and a lot are just 5%'s that got selectively matched from larger batches. I’ve had some that have the blue/grey overcoat come off and that is even more problematic to keep up with.
