This picture is of the wafer out of a 200k dual-gang volume pot. It was the volume pot in my stereo amp, but was getting scratchy. I repaired it, but when I put it back together I squeezed too hard and messed it up again. Then when I tried to open it again, I broke the wafer. Cost me hours, anyway...
There are 7(!) leads, not the typical 6 for a dual-gang. There are two wipers, one that connects the outer copper trace and outer resistive band, and another that connects the inner trace and resistive band. Clockwise from lower-right, the fifth pin somehow combines both resistive bands(?!). I don't understand how this pot is intended to function and what I can use to replace it.
Has anyone seen this before? Thanks for any help.
