Likewise. Also used for resistors, 4k7 for 4.7k for example. It is also possible that a speck of dirt when a drawing is duplicated could be misinterpreted a decimal point, whereas with this format we know to ignore any such stray dots. Another note is that because keyboards don't have the ohm symbol we tend to use "R" instead.

My Mini-mod is about 90% finished. Waiting for some replacement capacitors (the ones I received were wrong spacing and leads too short to spread) and 390R resistors. Hopefully I'll get it finished and working at the weekend.

What have people fabricated for adjusting the inductor cores? I know it needs to be non-metallic or at least non-ferrous.
