Thanks for explaining the anomaly.

My 348-N with fluted resistor bodies all drifted high with the biggest drift in the 1M (also 50% high). Drift only dropped within the 10% tolerance at the 1K level.

I earlier reported that in the BC-348 I am working on I had found a 1 meg resistor with a value that had dropped into the low hundred thousands. But after I removed it and replaced it with a modern 1 meg resistor I found that when out of the circuit the old resistor had a value of about 1.5 meg. So, I still have only experienced old resistors that have increased in resistance rather than decreased.
