CGS09 Divider

Actually i have the same question for this too .

47K single turn trimpot asked for , should i just go for a 50K ?

If not what is the alternative here for both CGS77 and CGS09 questions.

50k is fine.

Cheap trimmers are likely to have a tolerance of 20%, so a "47k" trimmer
could easily end up being 55k. The only significant difference between a 50k
trimmer and a 47k trimmer is the series they come from. Some manufactures
used to follow the fixed resistor values - 10, 22, 47, while these days 10,
20, 50 is the most common.
