But ordinary resistors? No way. A high-volume manufacturer that needs an unusual value will just order them (or even custom values), since they need lots anyway. And for small volume projects and repairs, you just use combinations of common values. |

Should be half enough for everybody. :-DD |

If you have need of a sufficient minimum order quantity, they will supply you. If it were me, I would use two resistors in series. |
