A 2W resistor in a pc ps, o/c with no sign of heating at all,so clearly
marked bands of red,yellow,yellow,gold, silver.
Before I remove it and make an axial scrape along the coating would anyone
know what that value should be ? 3 band accuracy in a pc or is there some
other convention not ordinary 5 band coding ?

PCs are no different than any other device, resistors are resistors.
Red yellow yellow would be 240k according to my calculations.
