I'm looking for a few values of visay/dale resistors at mouser. I just can't find them!

470
4.7
22K
220K
47

Anyone know where I can find these?

Vishay/Dales: 71-RN55D-F-$$$

where $$$ is replaced by the value.

Oh, and I still can't find 470


This isn't an exact science, just get close.

Download the passive section of Mouser's catalog and they have a table on the page with the Visahy CMFs that list all the available values.

A 1% variation is perfectly fine. Keep in mind that your resistors will have a 1% tolerance so the values of the resistors will not be exact. It will be important to use a digital multimeter to match the resistors between channels. Buy a few extra than you need so you can match.

There are several such tables throughout the section, because these values are standardized. Every manufacturer that makes 1% resistors makes a 4.75K version, because 475N (N being a power of 10) is a standard E-96 resistor value. That's why you can also find 475 ohms for R3 and 47.5 for R7-R9.

No, I'm not going to change my schematic to use 1% resistor values -- inertia has captured me.

(47N is a 5% resistor value; there are only 24 standard 5% values for each power of 10, so they're a lot easier to memorize, and so are more common when engineers are designing extemporaneously.)
