I won't speak for Tom, but I'm fairly sure he is referring to 1k 3500ppm
PTC resistors.  Synthesis Technologies often have these in stock:

If you are interested, there is a thread on NTCs in the 1998 archives
(featuring Martin and Rene), and several threads on temperature
compensation in general over the years.  One place to find the archives is
the Grey Pages at:

Hope this helps,
