el pucho Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hi guys, Hopefully a quick and easy question that someone can answer. I just bouth a couple of 250k pots and I was checking them out before I attempt the T-riffic wiring. They both check in around 250ohms, which is great, but I notice on 1 pot I get a continuity check (the multimeter bleeps) between two of the lugs, but on the other there is no continuity check between any of the lugs. Does this mean one of the pots isn't working properly? I just wanted to double check all the parts were working before I started (I spend forever trying to track down a fault before, and it turned out to be a dodgy pot! doh!!) Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Is the knob turned all of the way, one way? That would give you continuity between the middle and one outside lug and 250kohms of resistance between the middle lug and the other outside lug(no continuity "beep).

el pucho Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Thanks for the quick reply. Yes the pot is turned all the way to maximum, but there is no continuity between the centre lug and either of the outer lugs. Looking like a dodgy pot?
