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 ...

Yes, two of the legs on the mini pot are in the same trace on the circuit board. The third is just for tripod status.
This was the same on both Cheapowatt and Meanwell rsp-500-15.
Nipping off the mini pot's legs at the pot cleanly would be easier than desoldering, making sure the holes are clear, then soldering in 22awg wires to reach a remote 10 turn pot.
I do not know if this could be managed without opening the unit for access. I didn't try, but taking things apart started happening for me at age 3.
