Nanao MS9 pots, watts and ohms...
grantspain:
watts not massively important if higher but of course its about physical size and fitting onto the chassis and lining up with the through holes
ms9 use a couple of very hard to get value presets, 3.3k and 6.8k
this one should be ok, might have to bend the rear leg outwards

this one looks ok as well although higher watts but leg spacing looks correct

Thank you Mike A!
No, Ive never seen that page. Thanks! They dont have 6.8kohm pots but do have 5 kohm which should be fine. However they are 0.5 watt rather than 0.125 that Im looking for. Would this do anyway? Still wondering what happens if I have the wrong watt value.
RadRush:
Wow thanks a lot grantspain!
I did find that one myself, with the correct leg spacing, but missed the one with the better watt value. I'll grab a few of those.
Thanks a lot to all you guys. I really appreciate your help!!

because the pot you are replacing controls the h s limit its not as important as let say a horizontal or vertical frequency pot, they tend to be pretty critical and on some chassis if you get the horizontal frequency pot completely out of spec you will kill the horizontal deflection circuit

Again, thank you grantspain. Just ordered a couple of those pots now and also added an MS9 cap kit to safe up my future gaming life in case something blows or start leaking. Really good thing to know the H and V freq pots are that sensitive too. I have a lot to learn!
Cheers!
