I bought this in 1979 and have had it ever since.

There´s a sucker born every minute - and too many of them end up in the bootweak pedal biz.

Pot on left is 1980 (week 38?) pot on right is 1981 week 11. CTS have always branded their pots a few months in advance, but certainly looks dodgy. Maybe replaced at some point ?
