Mabee it;s green.

The band looks green to me. Off hand I would say it is a 5 ohm resistor
and looks like it could be some sort of wire wound. It may even be a
1/2 ohm resistor. There seems to be 2 of them. Has he tried measuring
them ?

They are also right at the input terminal of that current measuring
probe, which is the question I raised earlier. Clare won't see it,
he ignores me, so his loss. I suggested that they might be special
precision resistors that convert the current to voltage for measurement.
Now that we have a pic, I agree they look like they could be wirewound.
Another question, what's the point here? Just curiousity? Did he
measure the resistance? I'd expect it's very low.

Another thing, there is a gold band resistor in between. I wonder
if those two are low ohm wirewound, maybe all three are in parallel
and the gold band one is hand selected at assembly to adjust and set
the exact resistance for the combo of all three?
