Ok, I've salvaged two volume pots from various broken pieces of equipment, and I'm having trouble determining the pinouts.
They both have five pins, since these were removed from stereo devices I'm assuming they're dual channel pots, and use a common ground pin.
I'm unsure how to go about searching for the ground and output pins... I've taken some measurements, but I don't think they make sense. (From the pin I <i>think</i> is ground I find two pins that don't change when the pot is turned, and two that do; as I would expect. BUT one side ranges from 84K Ohms to 0 ohms, while the other side ranges from 42K ohms to 0 ohms.)
Anybody know how I should go about this?
Thanks;
