For HiFi, the resistors I use most often are the Vishay/Dale RN60D, but in terms of FM tuners, I was wondering if they can generally be used for repairs without their inductance at RF becoming a problem.
Specifically, I'm dealing with an older (~1970) Sony receiver that has a problem in the FM section that I've narrowed down to the end of the IF signal path. The problem is likely a transistor, but it could also be an intermittent resistor. The service manual says that the resistors are "carbon type," but it doesn't say composition or film. They look like carbon film to me (thinner in the middle), but I'm not an expert on Japanese parts.
