I've noticed the same thing about the 'metalized type' resistors being almost always the correct value. I leave those alone.
The 'standard type' resistors are often wildly off. the funny thing is that Philco supplied both types as replacement parts:

(Sorry that you'll have to click on the photos to see them now that Photobucket changed their policies).
It's based on Steve Davis' tutorial: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=5501
the difference being polystyrene tubing rather than a pen -and hot glue rather than jbweld.
