I am curious, why use "old style" resistors?  If the oscillator will be
a working exhibit, won't the covers be on it?

Then there is the issue of the old style resistors having plus & minus
20% tolerances.

Sadly, having late last year sorted through my entire resistor and
capacitor repair stock, I most likely tossed into the trash exactly
what you are looking for.  The few that I bothered to check were so far
out of tolerance that all went into the circular file.

In fact, the NOS body, end and dot solid carbon resistors that remained
from this sorting; I gave them away at the last NJARC meet.  Then there
was the 30 or so pounds of NOS electrolytic aluminum can capacitors. 
What didn't sell at the meet, I gave to JR for the club to use.
If I had only known....
Jim
