Can you post a picture of them, and the real Panasonic pots on
news:alt.binaries.schematics.electronic

Done:


A little fuzzy, but thanks. BTW, you can get better images of small
parts on a flatbed scanner, but you have to lay a white cloth or thick
sheet of paper over it.

Yeah, it was done with an okay camera, but hand-held & no flash,
sorry, not much depth of field either because the lens was wide open.
The parts are 6mm wide.

Its possible that they are old stock, and
someone played with the adjustments to make sure they all turned before
selling them. I've seen some of that style where the plastic degrades
from the wrong lubricant, and they fell apart when you tried to turn
them. The plastic was soft and sticky, under the knob.

Sealed packaging (with printed logo) so nobody played with them
outside of the factory.
