Kate Temkinokay, this analog board failure was just cruel
this 56R hid its burnt missing side by having it exactly where the black color band should be

I follow #polymerclayart and naturally presumed this was a nice wee bead that someone had made.
Ever thought of turning resistors into jewellery?

@Dorell I haven’t done so myself, but others have — they usually wind up encased in acrylic because the wire ends they have are very brittle
but amusingly many resistors from this era (1980s) were basically ceramic beads with a piece of wire stuck into either end, with carbon mixed into the ceramic to get the right resistance, since ceramic has good thermal properties :)
