identify resistor specs

[onyaw]

Dear EEV,

Would anyone be able to identify what kind of through-hole resistor (specs, rating) is in the attached pictures?  Its name is apparently R28 on a board from a Crest_on AAE unit that was damaged during a power surge.  The component take in regular A/C but also passes 24V network power across other components but it doesn't turn on.  It is on a board that sits between the power inputs and the main transformer and is the only piece that appears damaged.  Even though the component is >20 yrs old, the company refuses to help ("classified").  Like I am a legal risk or competitor!

To me it looks like a wirewound power resistor, with the 4 band colors brown-gold (or yellow) - brown - brown but this does not make sense and the colors are faded/dull so this guess is probably wrong.  I am also not sure about Watts rating i'm told maybe 5W.  See pics with flash on, off and view of the board.

I have a replacement unit that works, but i want to try to fix this one anyway first replacing this piece, but would rather not damage it further by trying the wrong component.

Thanks for your help

I'd guess 1x0 Ohms (the color of the second ring is burned crisp) and 2W, maybe fusible. Simply measure it with a DMM! BTW, the large electrolytic cap is bulging and needs to be replaced.

Why don't you measure (or photograph) the resistor in the undamaged replacement unit?

Looks like quite a bit of heat damage on that board, including a partially molten connector. How long did that "power surge" last?

Is the last color band Black? Looks black on one pic and gold on another.
If it is. it signifies a wire wound resistor, looks possible in a PS.
Also if it is wire wound and  if it is not totally blown open, you may be able to get a decent value by measuring it
