If you look at the colour code calculator for inductors Joe you'll see that Yellow/Violet/Brown = 470uH - the value that you need. Yellow/Violet/Red is 4.7 mH. Silver = +/- 10% tolerance, gold = +/- 5%. Not sure what the extra silver band signifies. They're far too small to have very high inductance values, and to put the resistance (rather than inductance) of chokes into perspective, I've just measured a 15mH choke and its resistance is 300Ω. A 2uH choke was 1Ω. Although in your pic your little objects do look like small chokes, I wonder if in fact they're very high value resistors, because unless they're open circuit, they'd only have a resistance of a few Ohms - no way would they be in excess of 2MΩ, or anything approaching that, so that's a bit of a puzzler!
(Two 1,000 uH in parallel = 500uH, so if you can get a couple, that will solve the problem).
Hope that helps a bit Joe.
