That's a good idea, the newer resistors suppose to be much more stable and reliable while looking original.
Since I'm crazy on saving the initial under-chassis appearance, a set of the full E24 row of antique resistors has been my desire for a long time. I used every chance to get any quantity of the resistors, filling a special box little by little with them. When I collected a good amount of the resistors, I sorted them in the row and made a storage box to keep them in order:
Since we're lucky here in Russia to have carbon film types ('the green rods') since the 1940s and they are not very fail-prone, such a good source of the proper resistors promises me years of happy restoration life
