Tektronix used such for yonks. The guitar amplifier types are carbon and
either both the same value and taper, or both the same value, but opposite
taper. The likelihood of finding one with 50 k ww and 2 M carbon, audio
taper is infinitesimal. Some dual concentric pots can be dismantled and then
re-assembled with the values and taper you want. To do this, first you need
to find a 100-year old electronics repair person and second, get permission
to scavenge. How many of us are left?
