yes I did, it didn't measure O. L. which usually means its open, it actually gave a value of 2.5 Meg like the schematic said it should of, as for whether or not I could get a smooth up or down movement of the numbers when rotating the knob, I couldn't get it to do that because I couldn't hold the meter probes onto the terminals and turn the knob at the same time, I tried to use an alligator clip to hold one of the meter probes onto one of the terminals while I held the other one in place with my left hand and turned the knob with my right hand but the alligator clip kept coming loose and the negative lead of the probe kept falling off the negative terminal of the volume control pot so then I couldn't get any sort of readings, one way or the other.
