Neil,

For some reason I'm not receiving list postings via my email - only just 
found your response on the web archive for the list.

This is a "spare" Corsair I bought very cheaply a year or so ago. I only 
just noticed the pot was very noisy. After rotating it back and forth a 
few times to "clear" it, it stopped working altogether apart from the 
first 30 degrees or so of rotation. Ohm meter confirmed that the rear 
section was going O/C and upsetting the DC conditions around the filter.

I just pulled the board and pot out, and I measure the good gang as a 
220k log. I tracked down a replacement locally which I hope will fit 
physically. I'll let you know how it goes.

Incidentally I've just completed the N4YG DDS mod on this radio and am 
very pleased with the results.
