More Precision Resistors

You can also find precision resistors in a lot of older bridges at
hamfest.  I have seen a lot of Leeds and Northrup bridges available.  If
the bridge is inop, you usually can get it for close to nothing.
Sometimes just one string of resistors will have been burned out and the
rest will be available.

Not all will be really useful as they are open style, wirewound on mica
cards, and pretty fragile.

It probably depends when they were made.  Most that I have seen, have
been wire-wound on waxed paper bobbins.  I'm just pointing out some
sources - everybody's mileage will vary.
