Replacing rusted pots on monitor chassis (MS2930)
« on: May 02, 2025, 11:20:40 pm »
Getting ready to order some caps and other components for a rather dingy MS2930 chassis. Unfortunately, the trimmer pots are thoroughly rusted and very much stuck (I tried to turn one, and it wound up breaking). My intention is to just replace them, but I was wondering - should I also replace the rusty factory set pots (like B+ and X-ray protection), or as long as they are still intact, would it be a better idea to just leave them as-is, since I have no intention of ever adjusting them?

You could try and get the values for each pot with a multimeter and the setup your new pots with that value. I wouldn’t tinker with them, because you actually don’t need to move them. I broke a pot from my nanao ms9 too… I just left it like that. It was a subcontrast pot.

Can you provide all the pot values in the chassis and the models you bought. I think want to replace all my chassis pots for future proofing my monitor.
