I have some resistors, well it lookjs just like it with the color codes, but
instead of them being light brown they are light blue and it do not have
the silver or gold code at the end.

Any one know what they are ?

thank you

They're probably "precision" resistors, metal film or wire-wound.
They have a little different color code, which I don't know
very well, except that there are 3 digits plus multiplier, and
they don't use gold (5%) or silver (10%) for the tolerance,
since they're typically 1% or better. I don't know what color
band to look for for that one.

And there's always the ol' reliable ohmmeter. :)

Good Luck!

The one I have have one extra color line
ex: red- dark yellow- white- purple - brown
5 colors instead of the usual 4
it measure 2.5 kohm
If they were red (2) yellow (4) white (9) brown (1 trailing zero)
brown (1%) it would be a 2490 1% resistor.
