As a general note, it is always best to measure any component (especially resistors) disconnected from circuit.

Simply disconnect one end before measuring.

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.
