2meg resistors...

[Willybomb]

I can't seem to find 2meg resistors, but I have plenty of 1.8meg and 2.2meg lying around...  Are either of those acceptable?  I can always join a 1.8 with a 200k I guess, but it's not as neat...

It depends on what the resistor is doing. If it's a pulldown then a 2M2 is going to be fine. If it's doing something very specific then two 1M in series might be called for.

If you're ever ordering from Digikey or Mouser both have tens of thousands in stock.

If you're ordering from Tayda, they've got plenty.  Metal film or carbon film.
