## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the rotation angle (degrees)? 
One review indicates the resistance only varies over a portion of the rotation. How many degrees?**
A: I'd say about 280 degrees roughly. It's a good heavy duty pot but the variability lacks precision.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I needed
*by J***S on July 30, 2021*

Worked great for repairing my race car arcade machine steering.

### ⭐ sweep range is only 50%
*by C***G on February 10, 2022*

We ordered 4 of these potentiometers just in case one was damaged during shipping. All 4 came in 1 paper envelope not protected, and all 4 are faulty. We hooked up our Ohm meter and found the first 30% of the sweep range measured no change, then the meter showed the readings go up to 5K Ohms, and for the last 20-25 percent there was also no ohm reading change. They varied a bit from "pot" to "pot", but they are all defective. We will be throwing these out and buying replacements elsewhere. Save your money and do the same.

### ⭐⭐⭐ I don't want to be disappointed with these pots but I am
*by A***T on May 19, 2017*

I don't want to be disappointed with these pots but I am. They seem very well made but are not very accurate, across the full sweep. The first half provides a gradual change in resistance then after half way it goes wide open.
