Your original description indicated that these are linear pots 
(confirmed by the "A" suffix part number stamped on the part in the 
photo).  Linear pots make extremely unsatisfactory volume controls, 
because all of the "action" occurs in the first quarter turn or less 
and the rest of the rotation does essentially nothing.  So, they are 
fussy to adjust and are always down at the very bottom of their 
rotation in operation.  Highly unrecommended.

Best regards,

Charles
