Wrong POT + resistor = right POT ???
#1

8/30/20
If original volume POT is 2 MOhms with a 1 Meg Ohm center tap - but I found a new replacement POT which is 1.5 Mohm with a .75Mohm center tap, can I make this into the correct POT by adding in a .5Mohm resistor to one of the end terminals and a .25Mohm resistor to the center TAP in order to make it have the same resistance as the original specifications? The resistors would be added in series between the terminal(s) and whatever normal connection would have been attached directly to the terminal.

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
