That's a pretty ingenious solution to that problem. I'll have to remember that trick. I suppose one would also be able to limit the travel of the wiper by putting a block of some plastic superglued to the inside of the control.

According to Sams, the focus control in later production units was 4w/1350 ohm. Early was 2w/1500 ohm.
So, you might want to put in a 4 watt pot. I have had the 4 watt burn out
also. I have found 4w/1500 ohm ww focus controls from other sets of the same
brand as used in the Admiral, and been able to remake a good control.
Your solution looks good.
