Guys, this part is in the switching power supply section of a Sony thermal printer, in series between the line capacitors and the chopper transformer. As you can see, it looks like a power resistor in a ceramic housing. It is a siamesed twin made of a 12 ohm resistor and something else in series with it in the other half inside the common housing. This other something else is open-circuited, and I have no idea if it is also resistor or a choke. Any ideas?
