I might add that this thread started as an addition to another original thread:
"Yes, this thread is a response to my thread "Fix or Part Out a 475A" and specifically is a discussion of the perplexing arrangement of resistors R1354 and R1356 across the collector-emitter of the Q1354 transistor in the beam intensity amplifier circuit."
I have filed it under 475A, but the further discussion has little to do with the 475A.

No question that it's been a very interesting thread. But as one who
spends much of his life with search engines, I'm always sensitive to how
well subject headings reflect thread content, hence the observation
about drift. Future readers might well be interested in baking resistors
and filing notches in them, but "Resistors in series" won't help them
much to find such (horrifying, as you say) gems.

I think that this thread has stayed remarkably on-topic, maybe even become more so as it aged.
I'm absolutely fascinated by both the insight into the working (and failing) of what I always thought of as the second simplest element of any electronic circuit. I'm fascinated (and horrified) by the stories of how people trimmed such resistors in practice.
