Could someone identify this resistor for me please?
Post Body
This is a resistor that I accidentally burnt out whilst trying to fix an LED driver circuit. Only problem is I can't identify it because I've never seen a gold(?) third band before. Is it maybe yellow? But it looks gold.
There are two in parallel on the board, but taken alone (out of parallel) they both give about 3.4 Ohms (but may be damaged).
I can't seem to fit these bands into a calculator like http://www.hobby-hour.com/electronics/resistorcalculator.php
Also the likely wattage would be really useful too. Anyone know?
Edit: I read somewhere that a gold 3rd band can be 0.1x multiplier. So would this be 33 x 0.1 giving 3.3 Ohms, 1% tolerance from the brown band and then ignore the black?
