I selected a 22K panel mountable pot because I have no more 10K ones, at least for now. I also suspect my 10K pot may have been burnt by the IC, because it was reading in the megaohm range when I tested it after desoldering.

I fully appreciate why you ultimately wish to use a different pot rather than the original trimmer. However, I was trying to understand the odd behaviour described in your post #20 (third quote in my earlier post). It still appears to me that your flying pots were incorrectly wired and I can see no reason to change that view. I may be completely mistaken of course.
