Re: SDS9 Potentiometers

Thanks Ed.
I hope to get the ones(I ordered 2) in a couple days.
I ordered 2 in case I needed to modify one and screwed it up.
At $0.84 ea, I could just through them away and not sweat it.

I'm also thinking about replacing the battery, but need to do a little searching before starting a new thread.
