In troubleshooting my tv set I noticed that many of the voltages were higher than what was on the schematics. I measured several of the wirewound resistors on the circuit boards, and they were all at, or near zero ohms resistance. Their values originally ranged from 2 to 100 ohms. Their physical sizes varied from 5 to 15 watt. Is it common for these type of resistors to change like this?

I'd suggest lifting one end of the resistors and measuring to confirm.

I have already done that.

Not a large voltage drop across such low value resistors.

IF you have a 100 ohm resistor that reads (out of circuit) lower than 80 ohms or higher than 120, replace it.

Everyone of the wirewound resistors I removed from the circuit to test, reads 0 ohms.

Meter and correct setting?

For example, a DVM set on 'diode test' WILL give zero reading for all small value resistors.

I borrowed another meter, and got closer to advertised readings on the resistors. Thanks for the help. My increased voltage problem on my tv set lies somewhere else then.
