I was adjusting a trimmer, when I noticed I couldn't make the value change. No matter how many turns I made in either direction, it always read it's maximum value. So I tried another trimmer, fresh out of the package. Same thing. Tried a different meter, same thing again.
Obviously all my trimmers can't suddenly be locked at their maximum value. Is there any logical explanation for what I might have done to prevent myself from getting a good reading? I would make a bunch of turns in one direction, then test by holding the trimmer in my hand and touching leads to pins 1 and 3. Always maximum value.

I bought a box of 100 fuses.
All were SHORTED!!!!!!! 😱
PS: I guess we are under attack by a bunch of Trolls.
Any other explanation is welcome, as long as it explains some latest threads. 😕
I guess I was measuring wrong. But I definitely recall getting a correct/expected value using the method I described. Maybe I’m seeing things… this has been a strange night.
