[sdiy] Looking for OB-Xa mod depth pot/switch

[Eric Frampton]

Hi Randel -

It’s actually a wholly different animal than that - it’s a rotary pot with a push-pull switch piggy-backed somehow on the end. About to start disassembly - I’ll try to snap some pics while it’s open (if I can get it open).
