Well I'm glad we all agree. Just like our old hair, if we have any left , they all are the same color, and we no longer remember what color it was in the first place. When Ling gives me a haircut, I always ask her why she only cuts the white ones.
Just worked on a "modern" guitar amp, and the B+ windings AC windings were red, the 6 volt windings were green, cathode wires were yellow, ground wires were black, primary ac wires were grey, PP outputs were brown and blue, and all the miscellaneous B+ were also red. Miscellaneous was white, and a few purple ones too. Mostly signal and tone control stuff. The acronym NEMA comes to mind, but I'll be d**ned if I remember what it meant.
I just learned I have to stay up another hour until the madman comes to pick up his Pignose Amp. Talk about rework!
So some things live on. Don't rely on it though.
