I appreciate the suggestion when replacing resistors to start high and work lower until a correct value is found but I do not have access to a stock of components and would have to buy from a remote supplier with postage charges higher than the value of a small number of components.

There are at least two solutions here.

One is to make a list of all the values you are likely to need and, assuming that you are going to continue restoring more sets, possibly add a few others to give you a small stock. Some sellers used to sell several resistors in each popular value in a package at quite reasonable prices, I don't know if they still do. You'll be spending more money at the outset but with only one postage charge.

Another possibility is to cast around for local shops and engineers who still repair sets - they are few and far between, but still exist. They will need full ranges of a wide variety of components and I'm sure will be only too happy to sell you some!

Have you looked around to see if there is an Amateur Radio Club anywhere near you? You may not be interested in the amateur radio side of this hobby but they will also be using many of the same components that you will want.

Here are some links I've collected over the years. I haven't checked them all out and I can't vouch for any of them but you may find them useful.
