[time-nuts] Multi-turn pot stupidity

[Taka Kamiya]

I'm sure experienced time-nutters won't do something like I did - because it was stupid.  But I'd like to share this nevertheless.

I need a multi-turn pot and I bought a cheap clone from Amazon - because it was cheap and delivery was next day.  It came with a multi-counter knob.  Well.... it's useless.  Backlash is really bad, adjustment jumps and jumps BACK, the knob is unreliable, to make it worse, the fact of locking the knob changes position of my careful alignment.
Using things like genuine Knobpot, I get nothing like this.  It just works.
Never again.  I'll have to do it over again with quality aprts.

PS.  I get kick out of clone's creative naming!
