Namco Pots - replacement cross reference

[rmwilson]

Looking for any hep and advice I can get, I need to replace my Namco Potentiometers. (One failed before I could actually test it or know what it is) - its for steering - ( It came out of a Namco Gp 500 (motorcycle arcade)

1. Can any one identify this or a replacement for it? (stamped on the back E1K (OHM symbol) 60 (then next line) 8L - Note the E1 -= might be EI or EL - its just a straight line)
2. If it is a 60 degree pot what happens if i don't replace with a 60degree? 3
3. I was always under the impression they were 5k (is it possible to be a 1k, Can I stick a 5k or 10k into it?
4. blob:https://web.whatsapp.com/122cc473-9b3f-403f-8503-95b21cb9340e 
5. Original manual part number was X008-023, X00800-023

Thanks,

Ryan

I don't know precisely which pot it is, but to answer:

It's probably 1k 60 degrees. i would also presume it's linear, but not sure about the marking there.

Whether you can use a 5k or 10k pot might depend on the calibration options within the game service menu. If there is a complete recalibration that starts from zero, with the pot and the wheel centered, then you would simply calibrate as far as the wheel turns in each direction.

That said, matching the original might be easiest.

Not sure if this is an exact match, but it is a 1kOhm 60 degree pot used in Namco machines.
