Good deal! Do you mind sending me a 5W 1k-Ohm resistor? I don't have any and my local Radio Shack doesn't carry anything close. Hopefully you didn't mail out my other 6 yet. I only have a couple 1W 1k-Ohm on hand. They are cheap at places like this, but the shipping is $9
Other than better tolerance of this wirewound brand of 5W 1k resistor...is there any other reason people choose this over the above linked ceramic resistor?
