[sdiy] Slider recommendations

[St Eric's...]

Hi list,

I am trying to fix completely dead arp sliders lately.

And this morning I found the first working one...the value is a bit off,
150k instead of 100k. But thats not really a problem.  If I can reproduce
this, I might be on to something here. I'll let you know how things develop.
Still have to test if it works for a couple of thousand 'slides'....

If it works like it should work...then I can repair the carbon tracks...

and I am sorry, for the moment I won't tell how I do that..

reg,

Eric van Baaren.
