My favourite pocket radio has miniature slides that were horribly
noisy at the low volume end. Nothing I could do would stop that
crackle and I just couldn't find pots like them so I reversed the
connections. Noise gone, so far so good, but no fine volume
control. To compensate for that I decided what would be the
loudest volume I'd ever listen to it and added a series resistor to
each slider to limit the volume to between 0 and that maximum.
It effectively expanded the range of the pots so as to cover that
reduced volume spread and control is better than it was before
although of course the full volume potential of the radio is no
longer available. But that was so loud it was never up that high
anyway
