Another thing, my 1W resistors cost a whooping 4 cents each from Mouser. Why take the chance with a 65 year old resistor?

Some of those resistors look a little tired.
BTW, what procedure do you use to remove all the old leads and solder from the terminal strips? On occasion, I use a desoldering iron like used on PC boards.
As usual, amazing work!
