Bourns 3590S fakes

[BradC]

G'day all,

Has anyone seen a teardown of a Bourns 10 turn pot vs a fake? I have some 3590S here that given what I paid, where they came from and how they perform are clearly fakes (mostly good enough though). I've been cruising the net looking for someone having done a teardown or side by side but have turned up nothing. Maybe my google-fu is getting weaker as I age.

Does anyone have a lead on something? I'd do one myself but I'm not keen to tear into a $50 pot, don't have a youtube account and nobody would want to hear my voice anyway.
