They're really messing with me on the last three. I've probly stared at them for like 2 hours trying to somehow interpret them in a way that corresponds to the values I need on the schematic. They're driving me crazy and the longer I stare at them the dumber I get.

If you find a way to take a good picture of them, we'll be able to tell you right away. And 1k5 means 1.5 k (and by k, I mean kilo ohms).
I think these are the color codes for the resistors you mentioned, first what it would be for 1% tolerance metal film, then what it would be for 5% tolerance carbon film.
R6: 820k => Grey Red Black Orange Brown or Grey Red Yellow Gold
R8: 1k5 => Brown Green Black Brown Brown or Brown Green Red Gold
R10: 22k => Red Red Black Red Brown or Red Red Orange Gold
Also, there's something about capacitor codes at the bottom of this page:

I forgot to say thanks morange.
I totally had all those and just couldn't tell haha
I think I've got the board all done properly. We'll see when I wire it up.
