Hey guys, need a lift on changing the 220k speed pot in this circuit to a 100k pot. Is this possible? Thanks!

Sure, just change the 220K to 100K and change the capacitor connected from the bottom end of the 220K to ground from 0.1uF to 0.22uF.

I dont think the author intended you to use a 220K pot (I have never seen one); more likely a 500K pot set to 220KΩ.
 
Hey Mike, thanks for the reply, except I just realized I used my last 100k pot in my last project, but I do have several 50k's laying around. I dont know how to figure this, but would you?
 
Rold*Cold = Rnew*Cnew
