Resistor or capacitor?

[timmy]

Don't know what's up with that type of design, it does look like an odd cap but it's a resistor. Seems like it's encapsulated within a capsule, maybe it was to identify a crtiticle resistor for a specific circuit. The one I mentioned I have didn't have the same colors but is the same but different color bands and marked as well.

Yes, you can have this damn television! That's the booby prize

I could have sworn I've run into caps like this on an Admiral before. Or maybe it was on a 7" electrostat. That's why I took pause with it.

Looks like a 5K ohm resistor.... Easy to finally settle this..... Take it out
and cut it open. Caps will have cap material inside, like foil, and resistors
will have resistor stuff inside, like carbon, tree roots, coffee grinds, and
possibly old Bazooka bubble gum.....

I think these type of resistors are not made with carbon or other stuff that's typically put into a resistor I think this may be some sort of special duty chemical resistor.
