IIRC it is a "standard" 1/4" shaft pot. The tricky part is to get one with the necessary angular rotation. I learned this recently in replacing a joy stick speed control pot in a boom lift. Measure the mechanical angular range of the bad one and also the resistance angular range (you might get a reading if opened and cleaned with contact cleaner). Then check catalog specs carefully to get a match in rotation. Also check the shaft and thread protrusions, although some washers and a hacksaw might be needed to get a fit. In the end, after installing one that had insufficient mechanical range, I needed a $10 pot, not a Chinese $2. Digikey and Mouser have links to the detailed data sheets. The Honeywell industrial controls pots might set you back $30 if one is required.

Anyone know a source for the positioning pot in the G2800DXA.  Something has
happened to the wiper and I do not get a reading from either end to the
wiper.  I know it is a 500ohm pot.
Any help? 73 Joe K2UF
