You need a 1.2K ohm at half a watt and the nearest component house is three hours away. These Jaycar metal film resistors are the value your schematic calls for, rated to handle the heat without drifting. They match the physical size of your standard 1/4W carbon film parts, so they slot into the same PCB pads and breadboard holes you've already got. Pack of eight means you're not hunting for a single spare when the final test run goes sideways. Sorted locally, no waiting on an overseas pallet
