what are the values of the pots on the GQSS v1?

I have decided to go for a waterproof conversion of my GQ. The pot nuts are rusting anyway.
I know my way around a soldering iron but have a minimal electronics background. I can follow directions very well and reverse engineer just as good.
So bring it on! Anyone have the pot values for the GQ SS v1? Looking to use some Vishay sealed potentiometers. If you have any other source, I'd appreciate it.

On my GOLDQUEST SS the SAT is a 1 meg pot, the others are 100K. You can use the stock pots and just install hexseals on them. I'm using the stock threshold and reject pots, with no problems. The hexseals do an excellent job of keeping the water out. The SAT can only be submerged for 1 meter so I opted to replace it. I also used a 50K pot for a volume control. If you have trouble finding a 1 meg pot I do have a few extra.
Good Luck
 
I beleive the SAT is 2 meg and the delay is 250 K, I'm getting old so I may be wrong and my fingers go through so many pots with so many different detectors I'd need to open up my GoldQuest to make sure <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">

Hi Paul,
Some of the early GQ's with SAT used a 2meg pot, but the value I finally ended up with was 1meg. Reject control is 100K, Threshold 47K, and volume 1K.
Eric.
