Hi! I am trying to wire up these 33 pots. They are in a chain of 16 and a chain of 17 currently. I tested them before screwing them into this enclosure and I was NOT getting a short circuit between the RIGHT and the LEFT post on any given pot. I was also getting a 0-100k ohm reading between the left and the middle post of any given pot on the two chains.
Once I screwed them in, however, I re-tested them and was getting a closed circuit between the left and right posts on any pot - but seemingly randomly. This was true of both chains. Then I tested the resistance. On one of the two chains I am getting weird readings like 6k ohms between left and right posts and on the other chain I am getting 1 million ohms.
It's a alumnium enclosure and non-conductive. I really don't understand how this is happening and at this point I'm pretty worried I just did a few hours work stringing these up just to waste a huge amount of time.
Any insights or suggestions would be GREATLY appreicated. Thanks in advance!
