Thank you Xracerx13,


I have never had to replace these, not even once, so I really had no idea accept

maybe to take them out of the circuit and ohm them out.


Now with that being said, these variables here are the metal ones.  What I do see is the number 101 engraved into them for the final with a wierd symbol that doesn't look like the omega symbol for ohms, and then the letter "A".


Now with what you had said holds true for the new ones that I had recently purchased.   Now there are two variables for the finals due to having two actual finals installed.  So should I assume the variables are 100 Ω s ?


I guess if I am going to change them, I could ohm them out to see if I could get a reading anyway. 


I added a pic of one of the variables for the finial hoping one can see what I am seeing!


The other pic of the variables are just in general to show that most of them have a sticker with a number.  I guess this number is there so it can be found on the "BOM" or the schematics.  I don't remember this from the past in the late 70's to early 80s, but I probably just don't remember.


Anyway Xracerx13, I appreciate your help in any means.


Thank you,
