Here's a link to some 100 ohms 10 turn pots.
The pot will draw 75ma. of filament current so be sure the supply can handle it.
The larger value pot will draw less filament current but leave you with more un-bypassed cathode resistance. (that will cause some local current feedback that you might not want)
On a 2a3 (2.5 volts filament) I would use a 50 ohm pot. Because the voltage is lower the 50 ohm pot only draws 50ma.
I use 100 ohms on my 300b. 5 volts across 100 ohms is 50ma.
A 100 ohm pot adjusted to the middle gives 25 ohms of un-bypassed cathode resistance.
