I bought a couple of different "resistor kits" on Ebay years ago and I still use those
as my main source.  Buy more than you need definitely but in the end pay less
then buying each time.

Although, I am not sure if such kits have a 4.7 ohm resistor but I think it has the 33 ohm.  So,
use 7 33 ohm resistors in parallel :-).

I know there are a variety of resistances under 100 ohms.  There are probably different sets
available -- buy them all.  Of course, I have not looked on Ebay for the last five years at
least so I am not sure if they are still available.
