250K pots are correct.

It's only fair that I include my failures as well as successes in this. Too much pain, too fast, in temps that weren't ideal... Got finish cracking (not the good kind) in various spots all over the body. Good thing acetone worlks s well for removing nitro. Once I get it stripped to the base coat I'll try again!

BTW, I got the wiring harness in with 250k pots, so thank you again for steering me in the right direction, Dave!

You're welcome.

Nothing there that can't be fixed. I haven't finished anything in nitro since junior high school woodshop (it was a gun rack) but I've had my share of finishing do-overs.
