I pulled this out of a broken stereo receiver, I was looking to salvage some useable components before I recycled it and this one caught my eye. It has no markings on it.

it is a low value capacitor of a mylar film dielectric, radial leaded and epoxy dipped. I would wager it is in the .0015uF range(body mark 152 for 1500 pF)
There is a number on there - I could not read it, but my son said it is probably 472.
I was just wondering if it was a resistor or maybe a thermistor.
Thanks,

4700pF probably a 50v on there too. A thermistor will be a disc typically greyish pain coating with a lead on each face. A diode can be used as a temp sensor too, forward junction drop increases with a drop in junction temperature(negative temp coefficient). any thermistor you scrounge from an amp will also have a negative coeffocient as they are used to reduce bias with an increase in heat sink temperature.
It's a paperclip. Useful for holding papers together without damaging them.
(sorry, couldn't resist.)
