Help finding what value this resistor is out of a Comet 200 amp

Hello,

I am having some difficulty finding the ohms off this resistor. The colors dont match up on any of the calculators online.

Any help on this would be appreciated. It does read half an ohm on a multi meter. Thats all I could find out about it.
 

If it helps, this is the area it went to. When I do try to look up the Silver Eagle 200 pictures online, it looks to have different colors, but still hard to fully see as the picture quality wasnt good.

Inductor/chokes are also color coded.
That grounds any DC on the input transformer ( class c)
Here is a good resource

If you read it with an inductance meter it's probably between 5 and 15 microhenries. The sequence of color bands doesn't line up with the example at basictables. The side of the choke that was grounded is where you would feed your DC base-bias current.

So it does matter how its oriented? The big silver band needing to be going to the ground side of the board?
