Stax SRM-1/Mk2 Re-cap

I thought that description was apt
It was a serious question though.

Genuine question butterfly abuse aside.

Hello,
I have been lurking for a while and want to thank all the knowledgeable people for their very useful info.
I have recently bought an SRM-T1 and replaced the valves.
The bias process was easy to follow.
Getting the values close to zero however was like masturbating a butterfly
Is that normal and has anyone changed the pots to modern multi turn trimpots?

The finickiness adjusting the pots is normal. The values will fluctuate. I’ve never replaced pots, only caps.
