Over the years I've noticed that an
off-value resistor can be significantly impacted by the heat of the
unsoldering to take it out of the circuit.
Usually the heat makes the out-of-tolerance resistor get better for a while, but in a few cases the warmth made it worse.
For
me it didn't matter - I could not trust that resistor and it was headed
to the trash either way. But this might give us some insight into the problem.
