Apologies for the basic nature of the question:
I have an old 'shoebox' cassette recorder (sony tcm939) which has a slider as a volume control. I assume this functions as a variable resistor and can be simply replaced with a good old pot. So, does a slider have the same sort of pin configuration as a pot - one in, one out, one earth? Can I meter the slider for resistance and then just replace it with a pot of the same value?
