Yes, I think I was lucky... none of the potential nightmares I've read about here have been encountered - even the alignment was fine!

Interesting - the only resistors I replaced were in the FM front end (because they'd been removed for access, but the originals were only +10%) and the TI load resistor (which was +50%!). All the other ones appeared to be within tolerance.

I have to say it looks (from the dimensions / shape / appearance / colour coding) that there are about 5 different sources of resistors used to build the set, so I guess some are better than others and there is a fair amount of luck involved as to which ones you get!!
