I plan to add two input attenuators to a Dynaco ST35. Since the chassis is so slim, I bough two mini Clarostat linear taper 250K pots. To get close to the desired 100K ideal attenuator value, I swamped each with a 250K resistor.
On my meter, the lowest resistance with full clockwise rotation of the pot is 1.5 ohms on one pot, 1.0 on the other. Doesn't look too good. Did I get the wrong type of pots? I was assuming that when I want full signal passing into the the amp, I should be getting close to 0, with both pots having almost the same reading?
