These lumbering giant components use colour bands or rings to indicate their value; this interactive java script graphical calculator / interpretor can check your component or memory for resistor colour codes. If the resistor is smaller, on a blue or green base it may be hard to read off the colour rings, so you'll need to use a multimeter in ohms (the horse-shoe shape symbol) and measure directly.
73's for now.
