Found this MASSIVE rheostat / pot in my garage while clearing it out.
(Along with a pair of Quadraphonic headphones and about 10 'pong' consoles)

The windings are about as big as a grapefruit / orange

Is this big and heavy enough for you Rick?

Maybe we could convince people that they 'sound' amazing. Or sell them for their copper.

I'm sure they sound 'neutral'... wire with no gain anybody?
