5 color band resistor question
hey all i have a resistor in an old silver tone twin twelve that is ginving me trouble, the color code is black, red or orange, grey, blue, and silver.  
i know that this should be 38 or 28 depending on the red or orange stripe Mohm, but just to check i reversed and used a value to color calc and it came out differant.  
also i tested the resistor and it has floated to 108k can that be right can it float that much.  
thank you  
dan
