Due to a power surge a resistor on the Motor Control board of my treadmill cooked. It is likely that other components are also toast. However, since resistors are cheap and new control boards are not I thought I would try to replace the blown resistor first.
However, it has been a long time since my EE classes in undergrad and this resistor's color code doesn't make any sense to me. It seems to be an impossible combination since it either begins or ends with black ... which I thought you couldn't do ... also there are 2 gold bands in the middle ... which doesn't seem correct. To me it looks like Red, Black, Gold, Gold, Black (or the reverse).
Any help would be appreciated.
