HI well the resistor if I remember right , it is a 3 inch long white glass like material with a sealed resistor inside of it, or as far as a regular resistor, you can go to the library and look in the elect. books for the resister color code chart, or buy one at RADIO SHACK and you go by the colors to get the resistance and voltage.   ok
