    I just got a trimmer pot, 5k, and I'm spinning the shaft and it just keeps going... Unlike normal pots I have used before. Whats up with that?

    Sure it's not a 10-turn trimpot?
    Most 10-turn trimpots have a mechanism that allows to turn the trimpot button further even if the wiper reached one or other end (and therefore not forcing it).

    CD :)
