level of accuracy is not required.
Required a few, odd values like 374 ohm +/- 2 ohm , butactual values
known accurately to +/- 0.01%, in the range 20 ohm to 100K

You can buy 0.01% resistors, but they're not cheap!

Alternatively, there used to be a guy on eBay that sold resistor
kits-- He'd measure some wirewound resistors with a GOOD ohmmeter, and
mark them with their measured values, to 0.01% or so IIRC.




I'd want to know what "good ohmmeter" he was using before I spent any money
on his "precision" resistors.
