Anyone Put A 10-Turn On A Megawatt.
A ten turn potentiometer? With poor eyesight and a crippled hand I sure could use some disassembly and reassemble tips. Such as what needs to be done to gain access under the board to solder leads ...

Are they using the third leg solely for structural support? A tap plus one of the other two remaining legs would be enough, right?. Knowing which two of the three legs sticking up are live is the challenge for my eyes and coordination. Geeze I hate getting old. I've got the talent but my body betrays me. Hibernation for 20-years in the power-supply technology learning department don't help either. I remember a battery manufacturer shouting to me (Arif Sinan owner of Keystone Batteries) "You have got to see this solid state charger (A Todd 75-amp) light as a feather, and a really good price." Problem was frequency intolerance - the first time a generator went offline and spun down it blew up that power supply. I lost interest.
But I digress. As soon as the images arrive I will save them to disk. Then using hemostats, A Third Hand, the Octopus and various Mueller clips I am going to try and solder that Tefzel wire to the correct terminals. If I need to add a wee resistor, I'll do it on the pot end.
Yeah I did see the legs (2) sticking up. Daymare: Touch a soldering iron to a snipped leg and boink it drops down out of sight. When I do not know something I ask for help. I am all eyes and ears, here.
