Thanks, it turns out that the pots where damaged by too much soldering, we had two, and both suffered from some type of failure (most likely too much heat). So after calling 20 places we finally tracked down a place not too far away with only 1 ten turn 100k ohm pot. We hopped in the Jake mobile, and in no time had the arm extend feedback working great. One question though, As I am mainly mechanical, and my quick dabble in electronics the other day was only due to the lack of more knowledgeable people, (I did take DE a few years ago) but how much heat can these pots handle, it seems like too much re soldering will cause the internals considerable damage. I'm sure This has happened before, I was just wondering if there is a rule of thumb..re-solder more than twice, expect a dead pot, or something along those lines.
