Ah, checking the chart that you referenced, I see that it was the -0026 which added the bleeder between the 'B' and 'C' revisions. That's probably where that memory came from.

Okay, well, I ordered ten of the 0042Bs, which should fulfill my personal needs unless I live a lot longer than people usually do.

I might email the company and ask them to contact me if they decide to scrap the remaining stock. Folks rarely remember to follow up on that kind of thing though.

And I'm already stocking reels of tantalum resistors for the Mac community... Still, it's tempting to stock up beyond my needs.
