[Shop-talk] Need a variable 85-285 ohm resistor

[Randall]

Radio Shack unfortunately doesn't carry much in the way of components any more.  You're lucky if they get even close to what you want.

But in this case, I think that

will do well enough.  You won't be using its full range, but since it is 15 turns from 0 to 1K, you'll still get about 3 turns between 85 ohms and 285 ohms.
