I found many OEM Zenith ones online, but there are a number of them I can't find. So if I have to order from Mouser or such, which brand is recommended be those here?

An example of one I can't find is noted in Photofacts as R202 and noted on the schematics as just a 33K resistor and not on the parts list in the back of the SM. I found it on the underside and matched up the color bands, so I know it's a 33K 10% and is the only one. Being the only one I can't get the Zenith part number from another on the list.

Thanks
Photofact doesnt list common carbon resistors. You may be able to
find an old resistor kit or someones old resistor box. For new ones
just use the newer flameproof ones. Smaller & more reliable.
Only other caution on resistors is DO NOT replace carbons with
wire wounds. You are putting a coil in the circuit & it can
really throw off some circuits.
