Just for the record, R185A and R185B don't share a connection, so I wasn't able to employ the trick earlier suggested by wa2ise, tacking a 100-ohm resistor on and using the slider as the center tap.
Anyhoo, I got the 1.5K adjustable resistor in the mail. The smaller adjustable is backordered until May or June (grr), but I found enough 10W resistors in the drawer to make up the other half.
Good news: we have a fine picture (well, on most channels). Bad news: crappy/absent sound everywhere, so I need to hit the books and figure out how to align the sound strip.
Later!
