[sdiy] OT-pot

[Travis Shire]

That looks very odd indeed. Is it concentric or dual ganged? At any rate,
I'd take it apart and clean the resistive tracks and the wiper contacts. If
you don't get a reading from one of the solder lugs, try re-crimping the lug
to the fiber base. Be careful to not use so much force as to break the
carbon. If that doesn't work, find an *old* electronics supply house/tv
repair shop and try to hunt down replacement resistive elements.
