Maybe it is my multimeter dropping some voltage? It is 20 years old (I hand built it from a kit). I order a new one that I should get tomorrow. I have been meaning to get a new one for a while, but I do these projects sporadically and it has so far not been an issue. Anyway, a decent enough excuse for me to spend some money on a new gadget.
Yes, sorry, my vision is not what it used to be. The card says Red for 2 but I had Brown in my head since the tolerance is brown and the colors look the same to me since my vision is poor. Upon closer inspection and under good lighting it is clearly Red Red Black Black Brown.
