Remember I told you about all the electronics I scrapped out of my father's house? Stumbled across pics today. Tip of the iceberg - more forthcoming.
That explains it. Those old resistors are Drifty McDrifterson specials. Of course, some love them because it gives them the "sound" they want, just like leaky old broken capacitors apparently do.
Carbon Film and Metal Film resistors are proof that the LORD loves us.

Vishay laser trimmed precision resistors are proof the God is an EE.
I wish I'd grabbed handfuls of those precision trimmed bell system resistors when they were tossing them.
Only problem was they were odd values. Need a 12.279 ohm for a circuit? Yep, make one.
