Allen Bradley did make 100 meg 1/4 w  P# CB1075  ??

I picked a large number of these and just series them for the exact same thing.  not pretty but effective and they were cheap when bought in quantities of a hundred long ago.
That with the additional of the digikey 1000 meg, makes a good set of adjustments.
Still not the greatest thing for 4G.
If I get real desperate, I'll parallel with a good quality high value resistor to get the value under and then series it with a small value fixed &/or pot.

Some of my precision dividers have quite a bit of tweaks inside, but they are dead nuts on.

To get the neg ohms, Two ways I've used:
Bringing out an extra lead from the other side of the switch, for 4-wire ohms, will sometimes do it.
The other way that works, is to add a small resistance to make it a nice constant extra 0.10 Ohms (One LS dial setting) high on all ranges and move the dial 1 count on the low order switch (and add an '11').
