I have ones with yellow wires and ones with orange wires with a few left of the original Davey ematches before they became unobtanium. (For a time.)
There was a time when ematches were an absolute beech to acquire and I laid a in a supply and wished I had ordered more before they were restricted. Eventually an edict came down one had to have an LEUP to get them which made it a royal PITA. Thank heavens I knew a fellow who had an LEUP and was a supply line for local fliers. Ummmm rocket fliers who acquired the appropriate certifications, were in a club and flew at an appropriately FAA waivered launchsite aren't known to be a nefarious bunch. Wild and crazy but certainly NOT nefarious!
Thank heavens things relaxed so fliers could buy them again. That was the impetus for me to learn to make my own ematches in the past "just in case" but as I've said is a royal PITA to do and the commercial ones whether orange, yellow wired, MFJ or Daveyfire work fine.
