Hello all.
I found some 5-turn, 200K pots from Surplus Sales of Nebraska. There were some posts of extending the ground balance of the Bandido, but there was just no definite answers. I also read that there was the probability that it couldn't be done. The earlier post on this was promising. This will be attempted on a eldorado.
My question is: If the ground balance pot is changed, would it be a good idea to ground the non-used lead of the pot to ground? or leave it like the original?
My only test method would be to actually go to the beach and see how it react to the wet sand. It seems also that the other person who attempted this had really good results, but not perfection. I think it was due to the addition of a resistor, and a capacitor. At the resitor-to-pot connection, the capacitor was to go to ground. I think it was a .0022uF. Someone suggested that, and someone ran it thru a computer test to verify it with good results.
I hope it works out, and will wait for any suggestions before proceeding.
I would also like to thank the couple of guys that have responded to any of my questions or comments in the past. Also, I would like to thank the operators of this board.
Thank you all.
