Dunlop Hot Potz-1 100K

[Arn C.]

I need to replace a scratchy hot potz-1 in a Dunlop Crybaby.   The Hot Potz-1 is an Allen Bradley Pot.  I have an identical new old stock AB 100K pot.  Will this work as a replacement?

Thanks!

  I have an identical new old stock AB 100K pot.
 100k is close enough to work.
 The actual taper may vary.
 what is the taper of the original? and what does that look like when tested and compared to the replacement ?
 draw a circle with 1-10 spanning the radius of the potshaft travel, on thin cardboard, press the center over the potshaft, print the resistances of the original pot on the piece of paper next to each digit interval [1-10], put that piece of paper on the replacement and compare R's while looking for dead spots.
  Though it may be easier if both are otherwise reputed to be about the same taper: test for dead-zones, try it out.

Thanks Pete!  Sounds like a plan!

Peace!
