I figured you lads would be able to answer this question if anyone could.
So, I have one of these electronic Tanburas, like this.
One of the pots seems to be bad and wouldn't clean, so it needs replacing. Upon disassembling and doing basic diagnosis, the inside was a total Yugo. The plastic bodied pots they used were utter trash and several came apart, there were any number of half-assed jobs, etc.
OK, it needs a complete repot. There are 6.
The pots themselves are rather odd and I seem to have found what looks to be a brilliant alternative in a metal, similarly sized 100K pot NOS Russian pot with the right shaft diameter and pot size to fit in the chassis.
My original plan was to just replace the pots by desoldering and resoldering onto the same tab, since the existing pots are just like the conventional ones with the three side by side tabs.
Question: How do I determine what wire goes where, desoldering from a Side by Side by Side pot onto a pot as seen above, where the tabs are arranged on the bottom like that?
