Subject: Re: [motm] Couple of 440 questions from new user

From: "Stephen Drake" <makeme1witheverything@...>

The blue bourns pots have a bit more "wiggle" in their shafts (insert joke here) than the other kind, but it shouldn't be a problem. If you're getting noise or leaps in the values they can be replaced, but otherwise they're fine.

Just acquired my first full-size MOTM module, a 440 filter. It sounds fantastic. I bought it
used and have no documantation on it. 2 questions:

1) The resonance jack - when you plug into this does the res pot become an attenuator or...?
any explanation appreciated.

2) all the black PC-mounted pots are fine.
All 3 panelmounted blue pots have considerable wiggle in the shaft and the freq (top) knob is
the worst. Are these just worn out and need replacing, or is this the nature of these? I'll
replace them either way as I'm not digging the shaft wiggle at all. Again, any advice
appreciated.

TIA
Phil
