Holco metal film resistors have been used in hundreds of classic High End audio components. They give a crisp, full sound; about as good as it gets in a metal film type. We recommend that you support the lead at each end of the resistor approx. 1/8" away from the body with a pair of hemostats when you bend it. We do not recommend that the leads be severely bent flush with the body as required by some PC board installations. Made in England. Three values available, 68 ohm half watt, 39.2K half watt and 4.75K 1 watt.
