Stella 105U - latest restoration

[Yorkie]

Thanks Joe and Alan for the info on the strange 4 terminal pot. First one I've ever come across, but obviously several makers adopted this set-up. I wonder if it made any perceptible improvement to sound quality? I guess that the only way to know would be to rewire the pot to exclude the tapping to see what change if any there is to the sound. Had the pot not have been repairable, I'd have had to do that anyway, and to fit a standard 0.47M or 0.5M NOS log pot. I think that Stella was an offshoot of Philips, because the 105U chassis is identical to a Philips model of the same era, (1953), which has a different cabinet.

Night night,

David
