old resistors

old resistors
I noticed that in my old Super Twin the resistors have lost their nominal values, being oversized, around 10-15%. Thus the voltages are lowered down.  
I need to replace a broken resistor. Should I replace at nominal value or actual value?  
In particular one resistor placed just after standby switch (on the B+ line) is now 7k instead of nominal 5k. It's not broken but it much decreases B+ current into the circuit. Should I replace it?  
Any suggestion will be very appreciated.
