That's a Thermistor, either for the Degausser or to soft start the set.
One type increases resistance with heat, the other decreases.

You could twist the wires together and see if it makes a difference but if it is the degausser you don't want to run it long that way because it could burn up the coil.

If the tubes light up and you don't hear a loud humming sound from the degaussing coil then it's probably okay to run it.

You can also try to solder it back together, if it sticks together then it should work.
