No can do, tolerance is 5% and I wouldn't feel safe going lower. I believe it's a wirewound resistor; I suppose 1.8k 5w will have to do in this case, it's about as close as I can get. As for the 18k resistor I suppose I'll go with the Panasonic 3w metal oxide.

If that's all in order I now just need a source for dial string, 6.5V 0.3A indicator bulbs, tuning condenser grommets and a dial pointer like the one pictured which is the usual grossly overpriced eBay item. The ad says it's 4 3/4" long which seems appropriate for this radio and the carriage looks like the one in the dial stringing instructions.
