hl all do anybody known the oms rating on the volume potentiometer as im sick of the cheap nasty thing any help appreciated, oh an one other thing anybody know if you can change the bulb on the high intensity flash unit or a replacement to it thanks ,,, Ray .

Last few I've measure have been 50k ohm, but I use 10k Ohm which works just as well.

Flash bulb I have changed like for like just cut the 3 wires and solder and heat shrink. I wouldn't go near the actual bulb too fragile.
