Not all resistors are 20% tolerance. In fact, I believe I have seen  more
10% in the radios I have worked on. If the fourth color is gold,  the
tolerance is 5%. If it is silver, it is 10%. If no fourth color, it  is
20%. There are also 1% and 2% resistors used; mostly in  metering
circuits. These usually have the tolerance printed on them.

Absolutely correct. However, the statement stands. If it measures more  than 
20% different from the marked value, it should be replaced. This is true  even 
if it is coded as a 5% resistor. In other words, ANY resistor differing  from 
it's marked value by more than 20% should be replaced.

Now everyone  repeat after me, Bad Boys etc.
