Good call!
Ch products pots are very reliable also. I've recycled some from old controllers and they still worked perfectly. I wouldn't know if they'd fit on a Cougar, though.

You know the old saying; a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

The pots on the Cougar were simply a disgrace. And how much did they save on those small pieces of equipment? 2-5 bucks? Sad!

Do you happen to have any pictures of your arrangement? I have received my hall sensors and my magnets and am trying to work out how to go about installing them.
