You might be able to just substitute the 20K with a 25K and it would work 
fine.  Depending on its function in the circuit, the value of a resistor is 
often not critical.  I  made a similar substitution with the voltage divider 
in the bias supply of my Gates BC1-T and could tell absolutely no 
difference.  In older rigs with carbon resistors, some the resistances may 
have shifted a greater percentage than that, but the circuits still work OK.
