I need a LOW-Friction 500k audio taper tone pot

[CloudyJim]

Can't find one online. Does anyone have any suggestions? Needs to turn easily for wah effects.

You can take just about any pot and spray the inside thoroughly with contact cleaner. This will break down the dielectric grease and make it easy to turn.

Bourns is very loose.

also, prs pots are effortless and have a very nice taper.

That plus you can "carefully" lift the wiper a bit so it doesn't press as tight.

now that i haven't tried! cool tip.

also, contact cleaner won't really flush out the gooey wax that some pots get packed with. in that case, a flush with naphtha makes an immediate difference in turning ease.

I learned that slightly-lifting-the-wiper trick from reading Phil Jacoby's post!!

Also, De-oxit (red) can flush that "precious to me" sticky gum out pretty good.

Use a bigger diameter knob too if possible.

I have the whole full bottle of it from CTS if anyone want to put some back in the pot to tighten the turning action..........:crazyguyseriouly!
