Exactly. So you want to put the NEW material at the top.
You've already read everything else.
When you put a book down, and then pick it up again, do you
start at the very beginning of the book, or resume with the
material you haven't read yet?

One other consideration. I used to do most of my newsgroup reading on
my PDA (Diamond Mako). Because of the limited amount of memory in the
PDA, the newsreader only downloaded about 30-40 lines of text per
posting. Normally not a problem, but when the replies included a lot
of text from previous posts, I was never able to read what the bottom-
posters added to the discussion. It became quite frustrating at
times.

It's that there is usually many many such questions/claims in the
thread, that could have similar answers/replies. Thus, the purpose of
quote is to POINT that which of the questions/claims is the reply
directed for.
If you read your own message (if you hadn't written it), you would
see, that it was IMPOSSIBLE to know that to which claim you are
refferring when you said "exactly". So that meant that triple
scrolling was necessary, for seeing it and then your reply.
Without seeing your quote, it can be considered that your reply
"exactly" referred to "Nice troll" in another message.
If quote was unnecessary, it wouldn't have invented, or at least not

Hi everyone -
first off sorry for the confusion - I didnt mean to imply I wouldnt be
checking back into the newsgroup, I just never know when I can get online
and sometimes the older messages dont show up in my listings.
second - good idea about the conductive polymer - I hadnt thought along
those lines yet.
The travel on these pots is 2 inches and the closest thing I could find is
an alpha part but the construction is completely different internally and
they dont offer all of the various values I would need. I wonder if I could
have a lot of them custom made but I dont have megabucks to invest. These
are for synths and there is a demand since the NOS stock either dried up a
long time ago or the repair people who will even touch these things nowadays
are probably clinging tenaciously to the reserve stocks they do have (or
want an arm and a leg for them).
thanks again to everyone who replied

Think reconstruction. Perhaps a chassis that fits over the existing controlsI have a need to rebuild some slide pots from 1970's musical equipment
that have worn-through resistance strips. The pots are long since
unobtainable

Can you post a pic of one alongside a ruler inHi everyone -
first off sorry for the confusion - I didnt mean to imply I wouldnt be
checking back into the newsgroup, I just never know when I can get online
and sometimes the older messages dont show up in my listings.
second - good idea about the conductive polymer - I hadnt thought along
those lines yet.
The travel on these pots is 2 inches and the closest thing I could find is
an alpha part but the construction is completely different internally and
they dont offer all of the various values I would need. I wonder if I could
have a lot of them custom made but I dont have megabucks to invest. These
are for synths and there is a demand since the NOS stock either dried up a
long time ago or the repair people who will even touch these things nowadays
are probably clinging tenaciously to the reserve stocks they do have (or
want an arm and a leg for them).

One other consideration. I used to do most of my newsgroup reading on
my PDA (Diamond Mako). Because of the limited amount of memory in the
PDA, the newsreader only downloaded about 30-40 lines of text per
posting. Normally not a problem, but when the replies included a lot
of text from previous posts, I was never able to read what the bottom-
posters added to the discussion. It became quite frustrating at
times.

and graphite i have used in such circumstances. Otherwise if only thin
wipers , dismantle and move the wipers to fresh bits of track.

on one of my 2 tips files, URL below, is a formulation ofphotocopier tonerI have a need to rebuild some slide pots from 1970's musical equipment
that
have worn-through resistance strips. The pots are long since unobtainable
(made by CTS), and I have yet to find any suitable replacements. The
resistance strips inside the pots are removable, and consist of a die-cut
non-conductive substrate onto which a carbon resistance compound was bound
and on which the slide contact of the pot slides. Each end of the strip
has
a metal connnector crimped to it to serve as an end terminal for the pot.
I think if I knew what kind of binder and process is commonly used to
adhere
the carbon to the substrate I could restore the resistance layer. It
would
most likely have to be baked onto the strip, which is not a problem. For
the resistance material itself, I was thinking of using material from
carbon
comp resistors (it would be trial and error to find the right value for
this
application). So, I am trying to find information on how resistance
material is bound to a substrate for use in wiper/pot applications (it
would
have to be fairly resistant to abrasion, solvents, etc.) Please email
foda01 at epix dot net with any helpful info.
thanks,
Dave
