Not sure if I'll take that step ... but something to muse on. Not too worried about the soldering having done surface mounts quite a bit previously, more the cost issue that holds me back
The value of the surface mount resistor is printed on it. I happened to have those values in hand or I might not have bothered. Also it's quite easy to do a fairly neat job in the installation, there's plenty of room to get the resistors quite close to the solder pads - I shortened the legs quite a lot, bent them carefully, and sleeved in PTFE. Sorry can't post a picture as I've never worked out how to do that on this site, and anyway the unit is back in its case, and I'm listening to a podcast now.
