You need 6.8K and the ¼W part is either missing from your bin or you'd rather not run it at the edge of its rating again. These Jaycar 6.8K ohm metal film resistors double the power headroom to ½W while keeping the same footprint as a standard ¼W carbon film, so nothing on your board has to move. Eight per pack. Grab them, drop them in, and stop second-guessing that joint
