In the case of the Black Box the components have no values. Well, 
maybe the pilot light does. As I recall, the input and output jacks 
were a few inches apart. What values might a few inches of hookup 
wire connecting the two have? Remember, this was analog wire. Well 
before digital wire was invented and we had to count stray oxygen atoms.
