This is why I ask because never had any crosstalk with this mixer and can't seem to find a color code that matches ^pic to help.
It's kind of difficult to see the colors in the second pic, and I say that because it looks like there might be different values.
The first pic looks like yellow (4) orange (3) red (2) gold (5%) to me, which is a 4300 ohm resistor plus or minus 5%.
10K will be brown (1) black (0) orange (3 more zeros), or brown black black red depending on how many bands they painted, plus a tolerance band (unless it's a super old =/- 20%).
1K will see the multiplier reduced in value by one.
Clear as mud?
Black = 0
Brown = 1
Red = 2
Orange = 3
Yellow = 4
Green = 5
Blue = 6
Purple = 7
Gray = 8
White = 9
I generally use 10K for passive summing, 1K might work okay for a lot of stuff, but the lower you go the more potential issues you can meet. I know some people who have not flinched at connecting two outputs together with a straight bit of wire and called it a day, the notion gives me the EE heebie jeebies but I never heard them complain (this was in a noise application, and is generally bad practice).
