Baby or large cockroach? Yellow, violet, orange is 47K or 47,000 ohms when it comes to resistors.
I think you may be actually describing a capacitor? There are caps marked like this across the AC line. They short and explode, breaking apart. If this is the case the original value was .047 @ 400 volts. The last yellow you mentioned indicates 400 volts.
You can use .047 @ 630 volt for replacement. There are specific caps for use across the line but any modern type will be far better than the original.

:Hello:
:I need some assurance advice on this model in regard to a large resistor the size of a cockroach.
:Its colors are (from the top edge) Yellow, violet, orange, black, then spaced from the first four above, another yellow.
:Could someone please give me a color combo different from that described above that will work as a replacement?
:Thank you,
:Greg

:Say, I went to radio shack and bought three packages:
:1) 47 OHM 1/2 watt
:2) 470 ohm 1/2 watt
:3)4.7 ohm 1/2 watt
:Will any of the above be a good replacement for the 47,000 ohm needed for the above Philco?
:Do they mark these resistor packages different today than in the 1940s?
:Thanks,

Yellow, violet, yellow is 470K. None of the others are corrent for 47K either. You will need Yellow (4), violet (7), orange (4 zero's).
I still think your original component might be a capacitor, with those colors? Resistors have a carbon center. A capacitor will be made of foil and insulation.
Color code values are the same today as in the 1930's. Only shape of components are different.

:Hey guys,
:I have found a Yellow, violet, yellow resistor in spare parts box. Is this the correct resistor for 47,000?
