I'm curious about what this is. markings on it say, T1 1% US 60G. Could it be 60gig ohms?

It could be since it is encapsulated in glass. I have few one Tera ohmresistors.-- -- Posted via a free Usenet account from

The resistor is from this circuit; was wondering why such high value resistors were in there. It's R1and R2 in the schematic. I was guessing Q1 and Q2 would have to bedarlingtons for it to work. Any thoughts on that?

What's this resistor?

Quite possibly, but mounted on uncoated FR4 as it appears to be I doubt the 1% would be very meaningful.
