Hey, Geoff.

Actually there's been so few replaced by me in recent years, I don't
think
I've used a generic 240 yet. I've gotten "original Sony" pickups from a
reliable supplier, but none lately, so those "NOS" pickups may be gone.
I do believe that a lot of the "flaky KSS240" problems we experienced
over
the years were actually bad flat wires. Had one a couple months back.
Of course I can see where a generic might be shipped unadjusted and that
could be disastrous. The are three adjustments on the 240 as you know,
not
just the laser power adjustment. Kind of hard to adjust them while they
are
playing!

This generic Sanyo one , oriental script only, had the pot "set" at zero
ohms as well as zero ohms across the laser


That seems very odd. I don't think I've ever seen that. So, when you'd
removed the solder blob short, did it still not work ? Or was the pot being
"set at zero ohms" equivalent to it running flat out ? Again, and odd
situation ... Did you reset it to some other value ? How ? Laser power
meter ?
