sh-101 calibration

[sandeep]

I've opend up my 101 once again and was inspecting the faders...

the adsr faders are labled (on the faders themself)
a: 1MA
d: 1MA
s: 100KB
r: 1MA

measuring these slider pots at the extremes does confirm that
they are 1MOhm, and 100 KOhm respectively.  

I'm assuming the A stands for audio (log)
but what does the B in 100KB stand for?  I suspect its not "bytes"  :)

is it normal that these sliders are log?

Finally, looking thru the Mouser catalog i came across these faders which
look like they might be good replacements:
"http://www.mouser.com/products/norecords.cfm?keyword=312%2D9200&disc=1&CFID=941515&CFTOKEN=86353274"

or search for part number "312-9100" at www.mouser.com

(the travel length is correct, but they only have the 100K variety)

any comments/suggestions?

thanks!
