Resistor substitution question:
#1

I’m working on a couple of old Philcos, 37-84 and 71B.  Need to order some resistors.  Problem is, when checking some of the vintage parts suppliers, the resistors they stock are not within 10% of the values I need.  As an example, I need a 6k and 13k but the closest they list are 6.8k and 12k-15k.  I could probably order from one of the major parts suppliers but I would prefer to deal with our “vintage radio” guys.  I guess the bottom line is, can I safely assume 20% tolerance or stay within the 5 to 10% norm?  I’ll probably go with 1w if available.

Thanks!
