This neon sign has a dimmer inline and it seems...

L-L= 0.76...
I got my hands on an old floor standing fan and started looking to rewire it.
I found this part, I think it's a resistor, but was hoping someone could confirm for me, and maybe suggest a replacement, this thing is kind of crusty, looks like it was covered with layers of something in the past...
