[Elecraft] [K1-2277} Front Panel construction -- R1 (10-turn potentiometer) numbering confusion

[Richard Hill]

Hello all.  I'm seeing a difference between the numbering diagram and the
numbering on my potentiometer.  I'm thinking I should follow the numbers.
The sequence on the potentiometer shows 1 and 3 on the outsides, and 2 in
the middle and pointing to the center of a resistor symbol.  The manual
illustration shows 3 and 2 on the outside and 1 in the middle.  Both show 3
next to the knob shaft.  The manual also notes that "Your potentiometer MAY
be either of the two types shown."  (Emphasis added).  I have three in-line
lugs.

>From the front panel schematic in Appendix B, I think I just need to match
the diagram on the pot with the schematic, but it is not clear which, 1 or
3, is the ground on the pot.  The schematic on the pot indicates that CW
moves towards 3.

Thinking that this is simply a variable resistor, I'm thinking that getting
the "variable" right is the key.  Trying to learn as I go.

Thanks for any help.
