[Boatanchors] Opinion needed

[WØQFC]

I would like the collective opinion of the groups regarding restoration of 
DX series (Or any other boatanchor for that matter) radios:

I have two that I want to "re-kit" and I wonder if it would change the value 
of the radio if the re-kitting was done with 'modern' style resistors and 
caps.

Most all of my stock of the Ohmite style (and what I have been able to 
purchase) resistors are too far off value to use so I wonder about using the 
newer film resistors and also the newer electrolytics.

Do you think that by using the newer parts it would decrease the value of 
the restored equipment?

I am talking about a complete restoration, including a re-done front panel.

TIA
