Nothing special

Standard 450 series CTS pot. Only difference is its closer tolerance resistance wise and about three different parts from an overseas one that have no effect on the resistive element quality to any degree. Not worth double the price. The one I received was noisy at 90-100% and rough feeling from 0-25%.
