i think 502 is 500k and 503 is 50k.

I think so also.  The one with the C is reverse taper.  The one with the B is linear taper.

502=50 w/2 zeros=5000=5k
503=50 w/3 zeros=50000=50k

yup, when they are numbered like that its like cap numbering - the third number is the multiplier

Although I only worked that out after I had tested about fifteen trim pots that I had butchered off an old vcr  to see what values they were  >:( I was a little slow with that)  ;D

  The DMM is pot friendly to a point, it'll tell you the pot value, and whether or not it is linear...ie with shaft center positioned, close to equal resistances from the wiper to each outside lug.
