OP I could not find your resistor pack, late 70's they did offer 1% metal film then they vanished from the catalogues. They are likely made in Japan as nobody in Asia was doing better than 5-10% carbon film back then.

It says “custom manufactured in Japan for radio shack” right on the package, visible in the first photo…
floobydust:
Oh, I didn't read the whole package. Still good stuff.

I think 80s not 70s. They were in the 1988 cat https://www.radioshack.com/products/radioshack-50-piece-1-4-watt-metal-film-resistor-assortment
The good news is that you can still get them from Radio Shack https://www.radioshack.com/products/radioshack-50-piece-1-4-watt-metal-film-resistor-assortment although the advert does not say where they were made :)

I am doubtful about that time. In the early 70's there were no such luxurious offerings here in Australia.

You folks from the first world were so lucky... At the end of the 80's and early 90's we could not find 1% anywhere in Brasil... It was a sea of carbon (both comp and film) everywhere and rather expensive (50 resistors for 2.49? Only in a dream...)
