[sdiy] 1,5 turn pot!

[harrybissell]

I ~knew~ someone would mention Spinal Tap (re: this thread)

There were some neat pots a long time ago... they were single turn (basically)
but you could push them slightly PAST the position you wanted (hard push) and
then back them off slightly with vernier precision (very soft push).

Anyone remember these ???
