So ripping apart a television (a casual Thursday afternoon activity…), I've come upon a bunch of these resistors with a brown coating on one lead; at first regarding it as rust, none of the other components are rusting (this was found outside my local garbage dump in my apt. complex, and it just rained when I picked it up…), and also noticing that it glimmers a little on the bottom right of the picture (rust wouldn't do that..). Trying to measure the resistance through it the meter measured infinitely high, but touching the actual metal gave an accurate measurement, and none of these seem faulty.
