audioguru Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi Randy,Sure you can make a 1M resistor with two 500K ones in series, but they aren't made as 500K. A 330K and a 680K will make a 1.01M resistor, which is close enough.Get a resistor selection package from any electronic parts distributor, even Radio Shack but you might need to order it. The selection package comes with all the common resistor values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
