I've gone over my parts to take inventory and I have a few questions. I'll start here. Is this capacitor the part listed below or did they send me the wrong part?

Next question. [size=150][size=200]Can someone identify this resister? It appears to have a fourth band but I can't make it out.[/size][/size]

[color=#408040][color=#40FF80]Q I'm still confused about identification of resisters and capacitors. In this next photo I get a reading of 56000. so is that a 56k resister?[/color][/color]

This one I get as 2200 or 22k ????

So is it the first two lines that matter the most??
I'm starting to feel more confident and I would like to start soldering as soon as I feel comfortable identifying resisters and capacitors.
I have more questions but I'll save them for tomorrow.

The can capacitor is the one listed on the BOM, there are, in this instance, 2 independant capacitors in a single housing. You can go up in voltage rating (here 500V on the part vs. 450V on the BOM) but typically shouldn't go down.
Resistors, 56k is 56000, k is engineering for 1000.
The colors are too dark on my monitor to read but you should have a DMM and verify the values of all resisitors before using.
Hope this helps

First resistor looks to be 47K 1/2W carbon composition
Second resistor 56K 1/2W carbon composition
Last resistor 2.2K (2K2) 2W metal oxide

Use a DMM to check them all.

Get confident in reading resistors without a meter, lots of info out there on how to do it.
