I'll try to replace as many of those four value band resistors as possible. There's no doubt those new resistors are excellent but like the hi-viz capacitors the modern resistors just don't look right in this set.

Hi David,
Four band colour code resistors are just plain wrong, especially small ones on a blue body
A 10K should look like a 10K, not a 100 Ohm with extra bits!!
I found the CFR100 range from RS look similar (at least in spirit) to the old Erie ones. The body size is almost the same and they have a proper colour code. Unfortunately the range is limited so for the other values I use the RS Pro 2W range. These are the same size but have a pinkish body but look acceptable once installed.
RS will also send free delivery next day even for 10 resistors!!

I'm sure you probably know that already though!!
All the best
