It is an inductor. The type we used to see in a ceramic glazed
modern version on say... an old trident video card.

Why doesn't somebody measure it. Most multimeters nowadays do
resistors, capacitors , inductors....don't they? Surely a friend must
have one? No?

If it still had its original specs then it wouldn't have been necessary to
remove it. Yes?

Chances are, the original poster probably though it
was a resistor, tried to measure it.. only to find it
open... Then probably tried to replace it with a resistor
and let the magic smoke out of the replacement and maybe
a couple of other parts. It's not a resistor, It's not
an inductor... It is a capacitor.

I think he knows what it is, he's just giving the group a quiz.
