I had this one in my passive volume control,later switched to alps blue velvet 25$,which supossed to be great pot,but sounds much worse that rs 3.19$ pot,

This is a perfectly splendid pot, assuming you have the right mounting hole and knob for it. The problem is that it is matched to a classic vacuum tube amp input impedance of 100k. Modern equipment has several input impedances ranging from 10k to 47k. For best performance find a pot which matches the input impedance of the equipment you are using otherwise you will loose some of your high frequencies.

Sounds clean, mutes completely, rather straight ahead connections. Had to use a meter to make sure of the pinouts.

The specs for this part say it "mounts in a 3/8 inch hole." Sadly, this is no longer true. They've recently changed the pot you get when you order this part number. The pot you get now with part number 271-1732 has a 5/16 inch bushing. The older version of this part with the 3/8 inch bushing was perfect for replacing volume controls in older stereo equipment that mounted in 3/8 inch holes. Changing the bushing size of this pot to 5/16 inch means this pot is no longer a suitable replacement unit. Please, Radio Shack, change this part back to a unit that mounts in a 3/8 inch hole!

I needed a way to control the volume between my DVD player/ Digital TV receiver and my active speakers (of/ on which the volume controls were out of reach). This worked perfect and saved me money.

If you have used a potentiometer before, this is simply two potentiometers stacked together that respond at the same time so two circuits can be isolated while resistance is changed on both circuits (e.g. stereo audio). I don't know why someone would buy this and need a wireing diagram. Either they don't know what a potentiometer does or they didn't need this potentiometer.

Dimensions and overall quality changed. NOTE: THIS IS NO LONGER FOR 1/4" KNOB USE. IT IS NOW METRIC. It is NOT the same part although it carries the original Radio Shack part number! Does NOT fit RS knobs or any other 1/4" knob.

One of these, some RCA chassis jacks, a box, and knob, and you have a passive pre-amp.

So what it doesn't have a wiring diagram. Google is your friend!

I require that both sides start climbing at the same time. So far this unit has outperformed units costing over $25.00 each. I get about 10% of the others to work and have not rejected one of these yet.

I'm a hobbyist and could have used a wiring diagram for assistance. It took a little time searching internet, but found some help by others.
