Well that pretty well confirms what I had suspected with the Bourns pots...
I wish I still had a few of the ones I got some ten years back so I could compare them with the new ones.
From memory, the older ones had a very clean and "sharp" edge to the logo stamp where as the newer ones are softer edged.
Much like many things you buy now, I suspect they are made by a third or fourth party manufacturer....
I guess that unless you get the military spec ones, you will be getting these third party made ones.
Is this a bad thing?
Probably not, just so long as they fall within the ten % range..
