You'd need to have already taken 50 quid worth of pot to buy that.
The ones that annoy me are when it's a guitar or something I wnt but they're asking for too much (not by a ludicrous amount) so we have to wait till no-one buys it and the price gets lowered. By that time I've usually forgotten about it anyway lol
Hmm, emptors - consider yourselves caveated.
If the parts have been replaced, the originals were presumably either worn out or substandard. Why would you ever put them back?
OK, there are *some* pots I might keep with a vintage guitar - if they have date codes and there's no other way of positively dating it - but by and large it's just collectorist nonsense.
Would you keep a broken jack?
(Assuming this isn't about something like pickups, where you may replace them for reasons other than because they're no good.)

Only if you can prove the parts are original. If they've been out, even if later put back, that's impossible.
It's also a way of 'creatively adjusting' the date of a guitar, if you're so inclined...

It's also why if you do find a single pot with just the right markings, you'll probably be more prepared to fork out more moolah.
Or conversely I know of a Strat which had late 1969-dated pickups and neck, but the one remaining original pot was dated the 2nd week of 1970. I'm sure you can guess what the owner did - without actively falsifying anything.
