Someone gave me some resistors he pretends to be 1k ohms. I went to Electronicsteacher.com to learn how to read the code but I can't read this one as there is no silver or gold end.
Is this a resistor at all?
if so, what is the value?

GUY,
Looks to me like a Carbon Film Resistor,,trying to locate one now,,,,,,Do you have a OHM,meter to measure it??
Cheers,
Frank
Looks to be a 20,000 ohm resistor to me with a tolerance of 2% - verify by testing with your ohmeter ....

Also from the shape,it could be a Metal Film Resistor,,used in TV's a lot..With a fixed Temp. Coefficient..
A fixed temperature co-efficient is only found on six band resistors ....
Mark,
Been a long time,,since I worked on TV's...

I goofed again. It is BROWN not red.
So : brown, black, black, brown, brown is 1k ohms.
It costed me the price of an Ohm Meter to learn.
Thank you everyone for the help.
The Ohm meter needed to be in your tool box before your started doing electrical work.
So it is not a waste of $$. I am sure that you will find many uses for it in the future.
Very handy too to have with working with electrical projects.
Hopefully you did not overpay and get a super fancy ones, the $5 or less ones from harbor Freight are perfectly adequate for model railroad work.

Now you can go around,measuring stuff!!!! Everyone has a lot of stuffff.
