Hey guys the volume/on-off control is shot on this AirKing. It was dead on all posts with the ohm meter, so I took it apart and found the graphite had separated from the cardboard disk and was in a little pile. Anyway, the schematic shows this is a 500K potentiometer. I have a new 350K combination volume/on-off control. Will this work ok, or what can I expect from it? Will the volume not be as loud, and if so is there a way to compensate it in another way? I'm trying to keep from buying another pot. if possible.
