F-2806 rebuild - VR2 question

Hi,
I'm doing like @jd3rdcoast in this thread and rebuilding two F-2806 boards for my G9K. This is all thanks to the great work of @Hipocrates who designed the board and printed/sold by @EastPoint - can't be happier for all these folks to exist. I sourced most parts from Mouser & Digikey; with the exception of the STV3H-Y and the 2SA968-Y/2SC-2238-Y (ebay.)

I'm at the actual fun part of soldering, and came accross a slight bump on VR2.
I ordered 3296Y-1-222LF (which I assume was in the BOM since the 3296P equivalent is OOS everywhere). The 3296Y has its adjustment screw on top and pins on the opposite side - which won't work very well for setting the offset in situ.

Question:
The 3296P-1-202LF seems to be in stock. It's however a 2kΩ rather than a 2.2kΩ ... would that be an issue ? I guess unless the 'ideal' value is at one very end of the trim pot, it shouldn't matter too much, right ?
(Edit: reviewing @EastPoint's built boards on eBay - it seems he did opt for a 202 and not a 222)

I haven't found any 2.2kΩ trim pots that would be a fitting alternative (meaning with the adjustment on top/pins on the underbelly - or a similar arrangement)

Also - please do not judge (but please comment/advise on) my soldering abilities, it has been a decade since I had electronical fun.

Thanks

2k vs 2.2k is irrelevant here, just get the 2k. I'll update the BoM in the listing. Thanks for the heads-up.
 
Allright; assumed as much but wanted to check with the real gurus;

Thanks for your listings btw... I was torn between the built ones vs having my own 'fun'. I went for my 'fun' even at the risk of messing it up badly ... and can absolutely appreciate the work/hours you put into selling the built ones. Kudos to you! and thanks for responding;
we can assume this thread closed.
