Default Help Identifying a Component/Pye Melody Schematic

Can anyone help to identify this? Could it be a thermistor or something similar?

It's from a Pye Melody suitcase turn table. I know it's a long shot but would anyone have a schematic?

Measure its resistance when cold. Is it 10-15Kohms? Warm it up with a lightbulb and if the resistance starts dropping it's possible it's a working thermistor.

Mullard/Philips VA1077 thermistor, I think.

It has completely crumbled unfortunately.
