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

Visit my web site at www.readingeastpenn.com for construction updates, DCC Info, and more.
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.
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.

Mark,
Been a long time,,since I worked on TV's...
A fixed temperature co-efficient is only found on six band resistors ....

Also from the shape,it could be a Metal Film Resistor,,used in TV's a lot..With a fixed Temp. Coefficient..
Looks to be a 20,000 ohm resistor to me with a tolerance of 2% - verify by testing with your ohmeter ....
Looks to me like a Carbon Film Resistor,,trying to locate one now,,,,,,Do you have a OHM,meter to measure it??
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?
