Hi All,
A follow up. I have ordered and received the new pot. There are a couple of marked differences between the stock one and the new one. First, the new pot is much bigger than the stock one both in diameter and height. Not a show stopper because there is room on the top plate for it and nothing underneath it. The second, and more concerning, is that the anti-rotate lug does not engage the hole in the top plate.
Now I realize that this is a "test" so I do not think that I will modify the top plate until I am sure that "it" will work.Do you see any harm in just letting the lug rest against the top plate and tightening the nut? I know that it isn't perfect, the knob will not sit parallel to the plate and so on but that really does not concern me to much at this point. I will clean up the esthetics if the pot works out.
Lastly, all that I need to do to wire up the new pot is to "move" the wires from the old pot to the new pot, correct? As described in the manual. No voodoo? ...I ain't ready to let the magic smoke out yet ;0)
