What were they removed from? Were they smooth throughout their travel?

Removed from my S35. They were smooth travel. I can bench test it again. If you need specs off each I can get them for you.

Hey Adam, I don't need them but I'd sure like to get good pics showing any values and part numbers so I can help identify replacements.

I am needing one for my Baron. It looks the same but the amperage rating was slightly different. I don’t know if that would matter. Would you check what resistance yours has at each end of travel? I’ll measure mine tomorrow. Mine just has a bad spot in the middle.

I'll try and get some detail pics today.

Yep I'll try and get it done today!

I measured my bad one and it goes from a little less than 1 ohm up to 22 ohms.

10ohm dial 1.58amp 64-5 R25-10-RS-30 showed 1.6ohm - 10.2ohm

5ohm dial 1.0 - 3.5 amp 723 series 2.5amp
XR4561 showed 1.5ohm - 7.2ohm

I did get some odd readings intermittently on the 5ohm dial. PM me your shipping address and I'll just send them your way so you can test if either will work for you.

I'm not sure that only 10 ohms resistance will dim my lights enough. I'll go to the hangar this afternoon and see if that dims them enough and let you know.

I set my potentiometer at 10 ohms and my autopilot lights were still just a hair brighter than I like. I am going to have to find one that goes to a resistance closer to the original. Thanks for offering to let me try them. Good luck selling them.
