I will do some digging quick my friend. Is it low level? 2 watts or less? Are you confined by space? We have pulls and new parts for specific gear, sometimes it is easier to find if we know what piece of gear it is for - unless its a new build.

 

[Ritchie Paris]

Hi my friend, this is for Audio level, 1/4W will be ok, I was planted by a supplier who promised me

Do you build pots on demand ? if yes I can to be interesting.

Best and thanks ! please safe my life the customer will kil me....

Ideal solution would be modular potentiometer. The P11 serie from Sfernice for instance. In theory you can order the separates tracks individually and stack them up as you like...
Problem is that distributors don't stock them!

So far, the sole solution I can see would be strictly Linear, and involve a bit of DIY...
(Edit: Again, in theory, those PT-15 trimers are available in Log taper, but nobody stocks them!)

Get two of these for your 500Ω tracks

And one for the 1 KΩ track

Align the 3 trimers on a piece of veroboard, get a file, and build yourself a shaft...

Hi mad, and thanks for the solution, I wouldn't have thought of that!!! very good idea but I think my client doesn't like this modular solution, this is for a T PAD mount on a Front face plate with a Big knob

 

[mad.ax]

T-Pad! that was the missing info...

Here you go:
Bourns 600Ω T-Pad Attenuator (1/4" Shaft)

 

[Ritchie Paris]

REALLY ? are you serious ? YOU ARE GOD my friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think I can buy only the POT ? have you got idea of the BOURNS ref ?

MAny thanks again

Any idea where I can buy only the POT in EU because custom fees form US and the delay !!!!!!
