Heath, if I recall, used to ID some devices by SIZE, specifically a
scale-drawn illustration you could lay the suspect component against.
Might work in this case, esp. since Elecraft used several different
SIZES of RFC in their kits... if all the same color, and possibly the
same color coding, the only difference will be size.
But I don't look for them to go out and immediately reprint that
(just printed) batch of new manuals... <G>.

Kristena,
IMHO it is a mistake for a kit manufacturer to attempt to identify
components by body colors. The ROHS compliant changes at Elecraft over the
past year or more have pointed out the futility of that attempt.
Identifying the component body color was likely an effort to help the
builder, but by initially doing that, the effort has now caused more
confusion. A component can be one color today and another color tomorrow
(except for the color code bands).
