Question Speedometer resistor

This might be a long shot, but I figure, what the heck. Now that we're in the middle of winter, I decided that I'd fix my intermittent odometer. It's in a 150 mph speedometer and the needle works just fine. It's just the odometer that seemed to work only when it felt like it.

Anyway, I opened it up expecting to find a broken gear and found that the insulation on one of the wires near the circuit board had cracked and touched one of the resistors, fried it and de-soldered it from the circuit board. This was still working like this (sometimes) before I took it apart. I guess I could just solder it up again, but thought I'd put a new resistor in while it's apart. Problem is I can't read the color bands on the resistor anymore (got too hot).

Does anyone have their speedo apart right now (perhaps to fix broken gears) and would you mind telling me what the colors are on that resistor so I can buy a replacement? If not, I guess I'll try re-soldering this one before I rush right out and by a whole new speedometer. It's the resistor right above the blue diode on the lower right corner of the board.

Thanks!

Phil

I have my 85 mph speedo apart now, but I'm afraid my resistors are different then the ones in your picture. The two yellow ones near the blue one in your picture, are brown on mine. As is the missing one you're looking for. I don't know much about resistors, so I don't know what that means.
