RE: JD10 Pots:
I know this thread is old, but all this drama and not one person actually answered the original question?
OK - here goes: The pots in the JD10 are all marked 220KB. They are however, all 220K Log 10% taper.
I have an original that has always had an issue with the pots getting noisy so today I pulled them all off the pc board, disassembled them and swabbed them out with solvent, (VM&P Naptha) and buffed the wiper contacts, which looked tarnished - and I believe that is why they kept getting noisy. I reassembled them and sprayed each with Caig F-5, then soldered them in place. So far so good. Only time will tell if this is a long term fix or if they will get scratchy again in a couple months.
