Determining the potentiometer you have:

13. Using the reference picture below you will either have the 250K potentiometer (left) or 10K

potentiometer (right). Also note the center position value setting.

For the 250K ohm potentiometer:

14. Using the probe of a multi-meter take a reading from the same 2 pins used in the old potentiometer.

15. Turn the potentiometer shaft until you get 45K Ohm on your meter.

For the 10K ohm potentiometer:

16. Using the probe of a multi-meter take a reading from the center pin and one of the outside pins

17. Turn the potentiometer shaft until you get 5K Ohm on your meter.

Reinstallation:

18. Reinstall bridge. Do not over tighten bridge bolt, bearing should turn freely but should also keep

carriage from coming up.

19. Secure the Z-Bracket onto the bridge. Make sure not to pinch the wires.

20. Tighten the potentiometer nut on the Z bracket. Pins should point away from the yoke.

21. Reinstall set screw.

22. Using a multi-meter, recheck the potentiometer shaft is still set to 45K Ohm if using the 250K ohm or 5k

ohm if using the 10K ohm potentiometer . If you need to make a small adjustment you can loosen the

potentiometer nut and turn the potentiometer body until you get the proper reading.

23. Retighten nut.

24. Reconnect wires.
