 These have all been briefly tested, and seem to have decent precision. I didn't look under the hood to see if they're 1% components, but the values tested were pretty good.
+These are also documented in this article: https://www.nutsvolts.com/magazine/article/September2016_Capacitor-Resistor-Substitution-Boxes, and were acquired from the estate of the author.

-One homemade-looking "high power" resistance decade box, described as "20 Watts per decade". Adjustable from 1 ohm to 10K. Resistors probably are not super precise (maybe 10% tolerance?). Measurements on low resistances are especially inaccurate.
