Explanation of AB Type J part numbers, to aid in identification of surplus pots:
Example: JA1N200P504AA

JA = Single section type J
(JS = single with switch, JD = dual, JB = dual with switch, JE = triple)

1 = Standard locating lug location
Facing the shaft, with solder lugs at bottom:
1 = Lug at 9 o'clock
2 = Lugs at 9 and 3 o'clock
3 = Lug at 3 o'clock
4 = No lugs

N = Plain bushing, 0.375" long
(Other options are for different bushing lengths, locking bushings, watertight bushings, etc.)

200 = Shaft length in inches (2) and 64ths (00)
056 would be 56/64" (7/8")

P = Plain round shaft ending
(S = slotted, F = flatted)

504 = Resistance 500,000 ohms (500k)
(The 4 indicates the number of zeros following the first two numbers. 254 is 250k; 105 is 1 meg.)

AA = The first A indicates taper and tolerance:
A = Clockwise modified logarithmic, +/-10%
R = Clockwise modified logarithmic, +/-20%
B = CounterCW modified logarithmic, +/-10%
T = CounterCW modified logarithmic, +/-20%
D = Clockwise exact logarithmic, +/-10%
K = Clockwise exact logarithmic, +/-20%
U, M, S, Y, C, and F are linear tapers

The last A just indicates what mounting hardware comes with the pot.
A = one mounting nut and one lockwasher
