I have an older Valcom FM Tuner, sorry no model number on this unit. Manufactured Aug 1997. Black with telescopic antenna mounted on side.
Anyway it had stopped working a while back so we just disabled it, and kept on going. Now they want Christmas music. Anyway I opened it up, and a resistor has split in half. I'm hoping someone has a spec sheet or can help me out.
It's resistor R22. I need some help as this isn't normal resistor coloring, at least not what I'm used to. (I'm used to the little bean shaped resistors). This resistory is Dark Brown in color, and has 4 stripes. Left->Right, Orange, not sure of the second color looks like transparent orange maybe yellow?, Dark Brown/black, Gold.
Can someone help me out and tell me what size resistor i should be putting to replace this one?

Valcom's technical support group is very, very good. I'd give them a call to see if they will fax/e-mail you a schematic. Their number is 540-427-3900. If they can't help you, I have one of these that still works; maybe I can either get the values for it or sell you the used one that I have.
Don't forget that it's a copyright infringement to use these things anymore for music on hold. That's considered to be unauthorized rebroadcasting of copyrighted material.
We're just wanting to use it for internal, as background music over our speakers. Not for MoH, we have a prerecorded MoH that we purchased many years ago.
I've contact a Valcom rep I've dealt with before via email, I'll update you when I hear back from them.
I think an Ipod is the current way to go. But I too would caution about using copyrighted material even internally. It's still a business use.
That FM tuner sounds like a Bogen to me.
