Looking for a cheap low tempco EFC pot

The board has a place for range limiting resistors on the ends of the pot.

In one test that I did using a supposedly very good pot, I found that the pot  did not have a balanced tempco between the wiper and the ends.  I spent a week finding that out.


Basically that gives me a voltage divider where the top and bottom resistors

have the same TC so the offsets pretty much cancel.
