Hello, welcome onbard and thx for your testimonial. In the sentence above, I guess you meant 1.5M? Because a 1.5k would give a pot value of 1.495k.

To change a 500k pot in a 400k one, it would require a 2M resistor.

Handy calculators can be found online BTW. Here is an example among others:

FWIW. HTH.

Correct, 1.5 Meg. I corrected my post. I realized it as I was going to sleep last night and it kept me awake, lol. Thanks, Ronnie V.

Maybe use one 500k and one 300k?

it would give 187,5k, like twice 375k pots in parallel.

it would give 187,5k, like twice 375k pots in parallel.

My throught process was that since there are no 400k pots, perhaps having one 500k and one 300k might suffice.
