I pulled up the diagram and I didn't see anything that makes it partially critical. Some sets they are connected across the avc line which in a lower value would load/lower the avc voltage. All on the signals are capacity coupled so there is no effect on the voltages.

Something from 3M to 1.5M should fine. The tap not being @ 400K may shift the tone a very slight amount but as long as it's with in reason (300-500K). I bought a control from Mark Oppat  https://www.oldradioparts.net/controls.htm   If you do use him heads up the site stinks call him it's easier. For what it's worth mine was abt $30 w/the ride.

So how's it coming along? Are you in the home stretch? Early or late model 116? All of the 16/116B's are impressive players. Lots and lots of volume with good tone (especially non code 121). Later ones with the rf stage are very sensitive and pick well. The early models (121) w/o the rf stage are less noisy and the sensitivity is still good. Also the dial is less crowded as the distance between kc's is more, but no long wave.
