How can I delay an analog pulse by a small amount?

I’m building an RS170 sync signal generator using vacuum tubes. I could implement the two delays as extra multivibrators, but to save tubes I want to know if I can do it as an RC or LC or LR circuit or network of such. The delays: 1.5 microseconds delay of a 15750hz square wave (delay between blanking and sync pulse for horizontal), and a 190 microsecond one of a 60hz square wave (delay between vertical blanking and vertical equilization gating pulse)

any tips on how to go about this? my tools: oscilloscope, pulse generators (the rest of the circuit), and falstad circuit sim. the pulses do not need to be particularly sharp, only needing to trigger the following stage without more than 1-2 percent phase noise.
