Goodrich L120 Volume Pedal Pot Replacement

I bought this Goodrich L120 pot pedal new a few years ago at a steel guitar show. After plugging it and seeing that the volume pot was defective, I just threw it in my junk drawer out of disgust. It came with a Clarostat 500K pot (see detailed pictures of that pot below) that lost continuity somewhere in the middle of its travel.

Be sure to clamp the pedal down as shown and keep the string super tight on the wrap around the screw. I used calipers to exactly measure the existing pulley location and installed the old pulley on the new pedal in the same exact rotation.
