Thanks to your help and patience, my yellow-striper is up and running, and
giving very impressive performance. It now sounds like an R-390A should.

Does anyone have a list of frequently troublesome resistors (like Chuck's list
of troublesome caps)?

I ask for a reason. I came across an article where Chuck notes that R-614, a
560-ohm resistor in the AF section, frequently drifts, sometimes to 700-800
ohms. Mine tested 1,000 ohms! I changed it out and it made a tremendous
difference in the audio. I'm wondering if there are other known drifters.

As always, thanks!
