10k lin. pot. Does what it's meant to.
Ordered this on price to fix my sons archery club metal detector as they are on a tight budget. It's small and compact and did the job without any problems.. Time will tell if its any good by which I mean if heavy handedness breaks this one.too. the only reason I didn't give 5stars is because its PCB mounting and not wire tab connections which made it a bit harder to solder the wire onto as they are very close together so I had to heatshrink the wires afterwards This is not a fault of the product.and I have no complaints. I would not hesitate to buy another one if i needed one.

Replacement lock cylinder that saved getting extra keys cut.
1 of 1 found this helpful I needed a replacement cylinder for my family home the old one was about 35 years old. so it made sense to buy one with enough keys (6 Keys) or I would have had to get a load cut. No brainer really... works well with no problems. In my case I did have to cut the screws and tongue down a bit .but thats normal.

Olympus C 220 Zoom - Good Value now!
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this item recently for my other half to stop her from nicking mine all the time . The primary use that it was bought for is for taking pictures of items she is selling on Ebay. and for that it has to get a rating of excellent as it takes excellent pictures in varying lighting conditions and she has had a better success rate of selling her items since she started using it.
The camera in question is probably between 6 -7 years old as that was when I originally bought mine.(so in this household we now have 2 of them.
The original selling price in dixons was arround the £200-£220 and for that you got the camera, a box, usb cable, video cable, driver/application disk and an 8Mb smart media card, not forgetting about 3/4 inch thich of paperwork books manuals marketting blurb etc (all in about 7000 different languages that i have never looked at)All you want is the quickstart guide and dont really need that as it is so easy to use.
The camera itself is very easy to use but possibly a little on the slow side for the flash to recharge especially when batteries are starting to run low.
Battery life is not bad compared to some cameras I have used. in fact I will say it is quite good as we recently took a 2 week family holiday and did not need to change the 2 AA alkaline batteries on either camera once.the resolution is only about 2 megapixel which is what you now get on some of the better phones but i think this takes much better sharper pictures probably because of the optical zoom.
The software is old and compatable with older computers of the win98 era as well as 2k and xp and macs but the best way we have found to transfer images has got to be using a card reader as you can just browse and drag and drop as if it is a detachable drive.
On the downside the largest available smart media card I have seen available is 128MB which Is more than adequate and hold approx 300 standard quality pictures High quality is probably about half that
To sum up It was excellent value for money, seeing as I only paid arround £20 for the second hand unit including case (normally £10 when new), 64mb card usb lead and driver disk on ebay.
Go on grab yourself an easy to use bargain give it a try and if youre not happy put it back on Ebay and you should get your money back.
P.S. the only reason I am rating it only good and not excellent, is because there are better cameras out there with larger cards.
