Ok, I ordered a project box 130mm x 68mm x 44mm and is a little to small for my needs, I also ordered 3 10K pots by mistake. Make me an offer and + $2 shipping any where in the world or swap all for 3 100omh Pots and or FS mirrors (Only 1 Project box for sale, picture shown for reference)

The smallest I can get is 1K :( which is what I thought I got, looking around I need at the most a 100ohm, any ideas where I can get some that ship to the UK cheap ??

can't you just parallel a fixed resistor with the pot to reduce the resistance of the pair?

the only problem with adding a parallel resistor is that your paralleled pair can't ever = 0Ω... not a problem for a spiro.

not getting to 0Ω prevents a motor from going full speed, not preventing it from stopping.
