So, I've asked questions about rotary encoders before here. I am old school and I just love to turn an old-fashioned knob to get my volume up and down.
I came across this product on another site and it looks like it MAY have a hook-up for adding a rotary encoder on it, (see red arrow in lower pic)
I'd love to give this a try, but most rotary encoders I see have at least 5 leads on them, some more.

What do you guys think about this? I'd be willing to pick one up and give it a try taking your suggestions on how to wire it if there's any chance it would work.
I would LOVE to have a big, fat knob to turn up the volume on future table radio and boombox projects, I think it would add a nice touch of class to any radio project.
Thanks for any ideas,
TomZ
