Mostly. This chassis is proving out just like most of them. About 2/3 are clearly out of tolerance, 1/6 are just in tolerance, and the final 1/6 are within tolerance. So having 5/6 of the resistors out of or just with in tolerance, I change them all. The last thing I want to do is go back in and change a resistor that's causing problems in the future. Another thing, my 1W resistors cost a whooping 4 cents each from Mouser. Why take the chance with a 65 year old resistor?
