You are welcome. Confused? Been there, done that, AND I return on a
regular basis. :)

Yes, I was just using an example of the part numbers that have thru
hole pins.

Very few of them are available that way. If you are willing to go to
a different format pot than what John uses, you can find them. Most
of the Alpha and sinilar carbon pots have solder lugs. They are less
common it seems to me in square format higher qality pots.

Absolutely. Here is a photo where I have done just that AND, it
explains the statement below that did not make any sense. This is of
a Blacet PCB going into MOTM format. But, it covers the same type of
task as you describe. The pots you see in the photo are PCB thru
hole mount. You can bend the pin in a "U" shape and solder the wire
to it, the cover is all in heat shrink.
