50 ohms.
52 ohms was also used. I think maybe 50 ohms is a non-standard value for a
resistor, and 52 ohms was available. I only saw one batch of 52 ohms-- the
color stripes said 52 ohms, not just my ohmmeter.
First I've heard of that one being a standard value, but my perception of
those is a little skewed anyways, since when I started messing with this
stuff 20% parts were still common.
In the whatever-the-heck series it is that gives you 5% values 51 ohms is in
there.
