Not all Potts parts will swap onto a Super, especially the later ones. Variacs, some motors, and some brain parts will interchange. Most of the microswitch Potts platters use a gigantic microswitch, and a different brain design from the SPP (Blue and ORC Orange) and NSP (Beige and Black) Supers (there are a few rare SPP Supers that had Potts/Strong phase-control brains retrofitted to them).
