Hi gang. I was wondering if there were any useful components in an old electric blanket controller. There isn't much in there but there is a bulb and a couple resistors. The one resister has something else attached to it. Can anyone identify it?

There are rarely useful parts for audio projects in consumer products that aren't for audio. I try to limit salvageable stuff to switches, jacks, pots (though real pots are getting rarer in consumer stuff), LED's, battery snaps, that kind of stuff. Forget resistors, electrolytic caps, most transistors, all IC's,
