All of my 470k resistors are reading a little over 100k

I have some regular carbon film yellow viloet yellow that read 132k and all my vishays read around the same. whats up with that?

Thats what I thought but the 470k Rs are the only ones that don't read right?

How do I read the vishay codes?

4703 = 132k
4752= 47k
4750 = 470 ohms

And my carbon film 470k reads 128k

Is that incircuit or did you pull them to measure?

You can't always measure in circuit, sometimes the small meter current finds an alternate path and you get a reading of the circuit's resistance instead of just one component's.

He "pulled it out" to measure.
