[Boatanchors] Pot -- Info needed

Mark,

For "key down" 100% there is .39 Watts dissipated in the R514

R510 has the same voltage and current, although used as grid bias for the modulator there is next
to no grid current.

I would use a typical 3 watt Wire wound pot for these....

A carbon pot won't handle more than .5 watts, a bit too close, for my liking, hence the 3 watt
wirewound item recomendation.
