In Reply to: I would stick to carbon or carbon film posted by 1973shovel on August 27, 2015 at 02:33:33:
Here's the pertinent portion of the article, mainly the second and third paragraphs, which pertain to replacing resistors in radio frequency circuits.
I included the cover and author to show that both the article and magazine were geared toward guys who made a living repairing VCRs, CB radios, etc, not toward magic crystal tweakers.
After reading this article in 1996, I've always substituted like for like in tuners. If it had a carbon, I replace it with a carbon. If it had a carbon film, I replace it with a carbon film. I don't know enough about RF circuits to know when it would be acceptable to deviate from this path.
