I agree with you completely and didn't mean to suggest not doing a quick voltage measurement. Very good to be thorough. It's just a history with these pots that lead to my assumption. I believe Aiken's site has a bit on PECs and how they all seem to become dirty over time. That, and a few people here on the forum have reported the same findings. My thoughts on using PECs is to take off the cover (Prior to installation) and give them a good cleaning to see if that'll keep them becoming problematic in the future.Zippy wrote:Even with a bad personal history with PEC pots, it takes only a little time to troubleshoot the cause, rather than remove/rebuild the pot, only to find there is a bad cap. If it is not a bad cap, you haven't lost much time on the bench, and you've eliminated the cause of rebuilding the next pot that isn't a problem.
Good troubleshooting skills are worth the time to develop.

Thanks Mark. I'd forgotten about that thread.
