In a previous thread you were going to order a resistor selection from an Ebay store. What happened ?
Where they any resistors in the parts cabinet you purchased. Or did you not win that auction ?
I favor buying a selection. As a last resort you can buy an assortment from Radio Shack. They now have an 1/8 watt assortment for $13. WIth 500 resistors it comes to a bit over 2 cents a resistor. Not too bad.

They have smaller assortments with fewer resistors of each value for $6.
While they are not a great buy it beats the heck out of searching for a used resistor on a junked board.
