I'd start at Radio Shack. The ones around here all have a cabinet or rack somewhere with this kind of stuff. I used to buy at Norvak when I did lots of this kind of stuff. But they may be a Northwest company.

I've also had good luck ordering from http://www.allelectronics.com/.

I think the third band is the number of zeros that follow the first two digits (its been a while I could be wrong). That would make yours 460 ohms.

47, 470, 4,700 and 47,000 are all common values. That gold band means 5% tolerance and that means that being 10% off in the value might be a problem. It might also mean higher tolerance parts than required were used. But I wonder why use an odd value if there wasn't a good reason.

AllElectronics lists a 1/4-watt 470 ohm at 50 cents, for 10 of them...

If it were me, I'd risk the 50 cents or a buck on a 470 ohm from Radio Shack and see if it works.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
