I got a little obsessed with finding some period-appropriate carbon composition resistors. I tried various sources, even ordered some that turned out to be the more modern peanut-shaped style.

I eventually discovered that a Japanese company until recently made some quite satisfactory ones (until they were bought by Ohmite), and you could still find those via audiophile sources, as well as some NOS Allen-Bradley stock.

I got these via a Canadian company :
