On: Why does the E12 resistor sequence use 27 and 33 instead of 26 and 32?

Are you miss (one time) programmable resistors? They appear in 2000s and where available to by, but expensive.

I have not tried myself, just don't found case to use them.

And I have few high precision resistors, and even microwave resistors, they very different from cheap film resistors.

Technologies exists different, for different cases, for different pockets.
