Well trying to test all the pots on the convergence board isn't going to work. I was able to test 3 correctly. Those 3 had correct values and smooth readings. The other 6 didn't show anything useful. I'm assuming it has to do with those 6 being tied into a bunch of resistors, diodes and many connected to each other. One started around 1ohm and gradually moved up to almost 30ohms, but instead of continuing upwards, it started to go back down and was almost 2ohms at the other end. I know this isn't supposed to happen, so it must be the other connections on the board interfering?
So I just gave them another dose of D5, followed by multiple turns and finished up with F5. If that doesn't help, I have several new pots I can install, but will need to get some Mallory pots noted in the SM as I can't find the ones I don't have. What I find odd is there is one pot that has specs of 120ohm 2W, but it has a different part number than the other three 120ohm 2W pots on the board. They all feel wire wound, so I wonder what the difference is.
