Most are between 20%-100% off. On average 30-50% high, with cathode resistors reading up to 250% of marked value. This specific TV has the most off resistors I've ever encountered in on TV during a restoration, so I decided to change them all, usually I only replace parts which cause a specific malfunction, as you say.
