Paul,
What should the range in ohms be for the pot from min ohms to max ohms for best results. It will be difficult to get the pot to swing 270 degrees using a lever to go grom 500 ohm to 5k. If the travel was to be 500 ohms min to about 3.5k max that would be easy to do mechanically, or maby I should look to fittied a log pot rather than linear. Pls advise and could you tell me where you got your pot from. It most probably will be better for me if I have the identical type to yours.
Thanks,
Doug.
