What was the code for cables on camera plans?
Randy Young Boys Get Maidens Often

Something like that anyone know?

>> The coloured bands on some modern miniature resistors are notoriously difficult to read. Perhaps that's the case here. I suspect that the ohmic values should both be increased by a factor of 10. The current values give (assuming a maintaining voltage of 70 V for the neon bulbs) powers of about 1 W and 2 W in the resistors — quite enough to fry them. Values of 150 or 270 kΩ would seem more reasonable.
