Can spiral type, multi-turn variable resistors be damaged if they are wound in or out too far?

As far as I can see, you don't know what sort of pot it is, so how it works remains a mystery.

I see what you are saying. My lack of experience means I made an assumption about what it should be called.

@tigger

Yes, I agree you don't want to pull it apart, but it would be useful to mug up on the different types so you can approach cautiously.

That is good advice. Thank you.
