[R-390] Resistor Tolerances

I got my "A" IF deck recapped today.  Probably half the resistors are more
than 10% high  but less than 20%.  I did not replace any of these.  Does
anyone know if there are any resistors that I should hold to 10% or less?  I
would think that 15%, of which most were, would be OK.
I tried tuning in to 14.283 and BARELY was able to hear mention of
satellites.  I then tuned down to 14.279 and was able to hear nothing.  I
tried this using a SX-71 and a DX-160.  The DX-160 performed better BTW.  So
now I really want to get this "a" back together so I can eavesdrop on future
Sunday afternoons.  :-)
