That's interesting, David. I'm surprised the Noble used an anti-log pot. As for shaft sizes, it would seem that scant regard for precise accuracy has been involved in the making of the plastic shafts you mention. Its neither one thing or't'other. I worked to half-thou limits in printing - accuracy was essential in those letterpress days with the top-notch stuff we had to produce. Maybe it isn't important now - but I wonder what anyone who tried to fit a 6mm knob on the shaft would have thought?
You must know this, but I'll tell you anyway: a lin pot fitted as a volume control where a log pot should have been puts the control's greatest effect right up at one end, most disconcerting.
I have absolutely no idea what would happen if a log pot was fitted where an antilog should be!
