[R-390] AB Ohmite resistors

[rbethman]

Ben,

The first suggestion would be to take a "random" sampling to see how the 
values have held up.

I had a bunch like that, even in their original metal box and drawer.

I found that time was NOT their friend!

I've since procured a fair collection of the "newer" metal film type.  I 
do random checks, and have yet to find one out of spec.

Since rolling around an R-390A or SP-600 isn't the easiest thing for a 
60 plus year old, I've taken to the use of the more modern components!
